Famous quotes containing the words sworn and/or clerks:
“For I have sworn thee fair, and thought thee bright,
Who art as black as hell, as dark as night.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“...many men choose a wife amid the deft-fingered clerks in preference to the society misses. The woman clerk has studied the value of concentration, learned the lesson that incites to work when a burden bears heavily upon her strength. She knows the word of self- reliance, and the fine courage that springs from the consciousness that a good result has been accomplished by a well-directed effort.”
—Clara (Marquise)
