Famous quotes containing the word council:
“Daughter to that good Earl, once President
Of Englands Council and her Treasury,
Who lived in both, unstaind with gold or fee,
And left them both, more in himself content.
Till the sad breaking of that Parliament
Broke him, as that dishonest victory
At Chaeronea, fatal to liberty,
Killd with report that old man eloquent;”
—John Milton (16081674)

—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

—Children and Their Primary Schools, vol. 1, ch. 3, Central Advisory Council for Education, London (1967)
