Famous quotes containing the word capital:
“It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data.”
—Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
“It is a bore, I admit, to be past seventy, for you are left for execution, and are daily expecting the death-warrant; but ... it is not anything very capital we quit. We are, at the close of life, only hurried away from stomach-aches, pains in the joints, from sleepless nights and unamusing days, from weakness, ugliness, and nervous tremors; but we shall all meet again in another planet, cured of all our defects.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
“I should not regret a fair and full trial of the entire abolition of capital punishment.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
