Famous quotes containing the words high and/or sheriff:

    “Brutes are deprived of the high advantages which we have; but they have some which we have not. They have not our hopes, but they are without our fears; they are subject like us to death, but without knowing it; even most of them are more attentive than we to self-preservation, and do not make so bad a use of their passions.”
    —Charles Louis de Secondat Montesquieu (1689–1755)

    “The man’s an M.D., like you. He’s entitled to his opinion. Or do you want me to charge him with confusing a country doctor?”
    —Robert M. Fresco. Jack Arnold. Sheriff Jack Andrews (Nestor Paiva)
