Stated Clerk

Famous quotes containing the words stated and/or clerk:

    If we do take statements to be the primary bearers of truth, there seems to be a very simple answer to the question, what is it for them to be true: for a statement to be true is for things to be as they are stated to be.
    —J.L. (John Langshaw)

    Then louder cry’d the Clerk Colvill,
    O sairer, sairer akes my head;
    And sairer, sairer ever will,
    The maiden crys, ‘till you be dead.
    —Unknown. Clerk Colvill (l. 33–36)
