State Bar Council

Famous quotes containing the words state, bar and/or council:

    Every new development for the last three centuries has brought men closer to a state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State. The majority of people in Europe obey nothing else.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    They made a paction tween them twa,
    They made it firm and sure,
    That the first word whaeer shoud speak,
    Shoud rise and bar the door.
    —Unknown. Get Up and Bar the Door (l. 13–16)

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
