Famous quotes containing the words states and/or admitted:

    “The President of the United States ... should strive to be always mindful of the fact that he serves his party best who serves his country best.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “If the Union is now dissolved it does not prove that the experiment of popular government is a failure.... But the experiment of uniting free states and slaveholding states in one nation is, perhaps, a failure.... There probably is an “irrepressible conflict” between freedom and slavery. It may as well be admitted, and our new relations may as be formed with that as an admitted fact.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
