Famous quotes containing the words county and/or chair:
“I know this well, that if one thousand, if one hundred, if ten men whom I could name,—if ten honest men only,—ay, if one HONEST man, in this State of Massachusetts, ceasing to hold slaves, were actually to withdraw from this copartnership, and be locked up in the county jail therefor, it would be the abolition of slavery in America. For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Show some mercy to this chair which has stretched out its arms to you for so long; please satisfy its desire to embrace you!”
—Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)
