Famous quotes containing the words office and/or holders:

    “‘Tis all men’s office to speak patience
    To those that wring under the load of sorrow,
    But no man’s virtue nor sufficiency
    To be so moral when he shall endure
    The like himself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Their holders have always seemed to me like a woman who should undertake at a state fair to run a sewing machine, under pretense of advertising it, while she had never spent an hour in learning its use.”
    —Jane Grey Swisshelm (1815–1884)
