Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:
“Our political problem now is Can we, as a nation, continue together permanentlyforeverhalf slave, and half free? The problem is too mighty for me. May God, in his mercy, superintend the solution.”
—Abraham Lincoln (18091865)
“A foreign minister, I will maintain it, can never be a good man of business if he is not an agreeable man of pleasure too. Half his business is done by the help of his pleasures: his views are carried on, and perhaps best, and most unsuspectedly, at balls, suppers, assemblies, and parties of pleasure; by intrigues with women, and connections insensibly formed with men, at those unguarded hours of amusement.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (16941773)
“Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
—Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
