Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “The more you stay in this kind of job, the more you realize that a public figure, a major public figure, is a lonely man.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “Strictly speaking, one cannot legislate love, but what one can do is legislate fairness and justice. If legislation does not prohibit our living side by side, sooner or later your child will fall on the pavement and I’ll be the one to pick her up. Or one of my children will not be able to get into the house and you’ll have to say, “Stop here until your mom comes here.” Legislation affords us the chance to see if we might love each other.”
    —Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
