Famous quotes containing the words presidential and/or debate:

    “Under a Presidential government, a nation has, except at the electing moment, no influence; it has not the ballot-box before it; its virtue is gone, and it must wait till its instant of despotism again returns.”
    —Walter Bagehot (1826–1877)

    “Abject flattery and indiscriminate assentation degrade, as much as indiscriminate contradiction and noisy debate disgust. But a modest assertion of one’s own opinion, and a complaisant acquiescence in other people’s, preserve dignity.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
