Orthodox Authorities

Famous quotes containing the words orthodox and/or authorities:

“If the jests that you crack have an orthodox smack,
You may get a bland smile from these sages;
But should it, by chance, be imported from France,
Half-a-crown is stopped out of your wages!”

“Our memories are card indexes consulted and then returned in disorder by authorities whom we do not control.”
