State Action Doctrine

Famous quotes containing the words state, action and/or doctrine:

    “Most of us are about as eager to be changed as we were to be born, and go through our changes in a similar state of shock.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “The greatest pleasure I know, is to do a good action by stealth, and to have it found out by accident.”
    —Charles Lamb (1775–1834)

    “We were as twinned lambs that did frisk i’ the sun
    And bleat the one at th’ other. What we changed
    Was innocence for innocence; we knew not
    The doctrine of ill-doing, nor dreamed
    That any did. Had we pursued that life,
    And our weak spirits ne’er been higher reared
    With stronger blood, we should have answered heaven
    Boldly “Not guilty,” the imposition cleared
    Hereditary ours.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
