Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or abbot:
“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)
“For and if thou canst answer my questions three,
Thy life and thy living both saved shall be.”
—Unknown. King John and the Abbot of Canterbury (l. 75–76)
