Famous quotes containing the words magistrate and/or john:
“No true believer could be intolerant or a persecutor. If I were a magistrate and the law carried the death penalty against atheists, I would begin by sending to the stake whoever denounced another.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (17121778)
“Oh for some honest lovers ghost,
Some kind unbodied post
Sent from the shades below!
I strangely long to know
Whether the nobler chaplets wear
Those that their mistress scorn did bear,
Or those that were used kindly.”
—Sir John Suckling (16091642)
