Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    I have not had major experience of talking with people once pronounced brain-dead, but I think we could be safe in saying he did not have great zip.
    Sir Howard Smith (b. 1919)

    But the wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting; that the State must follow, and not lead the character and progress of the citizen; the strongest usurper is quickly got rid of; and they only who build on Ideas, build for eternity; and that the form of government which prevails, is the expression of what cultivation exists in the population which permits it.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
