Famous quotes containing the words high, offices and/or held:

    “What you have said
    I will consider; what you have to say
    I will with patience hear, and find a time
    Both meet to hear and answer such high things.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “If private men are obliged to perform the offices of government, to protect the weak and dispense justice, then the government becomes only a hired man, or clerk, to perform menial or indifferent services.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Even he was abashed
    and I laughed
    and held him close
    when he went for the knot
    of my underclothes
    and I’d already untied it.”
    —Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)
