Warrant/government

Famous quotes containing the words warrant and/or government:

    “Here’s to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
    Here’s to the widow of fifty;
    Here’s to the flaunting extravagant queen;
    And here’s to the housewife that’s thrifty.
    Let the toast pass,—
    Drink to the lass,
    I’ll warrant she’ll prove an excuse for the glass.”
    —Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)

    “The worst enemy of good government is not our ignorant foreign voter, but our educated domestic railroad president, our prominent business man, our leading lawyer.”
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
