Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“The laboring man and the trade-unionist, if I understand him, asks only equality before the law. Class legislation and unequal privilege, though expressly in his favor, will in the end work no benefit to him or to society.”
