Famous quotes containing the words governor, general, horse and/or guards:

    It is better to have the power of self-protection than to depend on any man, whether he be the Governor in his chair of State, or the hunted outlaw wandering through the night, hungry and cold and with murder in his heart.
    Lillie Devereux Blake (1835–1913)

    The esteem of good men is the reward of our worth, but the reputation of the world in general is the gift of our fate.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)

    A marchant was therwith a forked berd,
    In mottelee, and hye on horse he sat,
    Upon his heed a Flaundryssh bevere hat,
    His bootes clasped faire and fetisly.
    His resons he spak ful solempnely,
    Geoffrey Chaucer (1340?–1400)

    The intelligent have a right over the ignorant, namely, the right of instructing them. The right punishment of one out of tune, is to make him play in tune; the fine which the good, refusing to govern, ought to pay, is, to be governed by a worse man; that his guards shall not handle gold and silver, but shall be instructed that there is gold and silver in their souls, which will make men willing to give them every thing which they need.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
