Warrant/government

Famous quotes containing the words warrant and/or government:

“I’ll sing you a new ballad, and I’ll warrant it first-rate,
Of the days of that old gentleman who had that old estate;
When they spent the public money at a bountiful old rate
On ev’ry mistress, pimp, and scamp, at ev’ry noble gate,
In the fine old English Tory times;”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1890)

“His Majesty’s Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people.”
