Famous quotes containing the word charge:

    What art thou that usurp’st this time of night,
    Together with that fair and warlike form
    In which the majesty of buried Denmark
    Did sometimes march? By heaven I charge thee speak!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Martial, the things for to attain
    The happy life be these, I find:
    The riches left, not got with pain;
    The fruitful ground, the quiet mind;
    The equal friend; no grudge nor strife;
    No charge of rule nor governance;
    Martial (Marcus Valerius Martialis)

    Carlyle must undoubtedly plead guilty to the charge of mannerism. He not only has his vein, but his peculiar manner of working it. He has a style which can be imitated, and sometimes is an imitator of himself.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
