Bill Passed

Famous quotes containing the words bill and/or passed:

“What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party]. I shall do all in my power to retain the corporation tax as it is now and also force a reduction of the [tariff] schedules. It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

“they were placed in a box
and painted identically blue
and thus passed their days
living happily ever after
a kind of coffin,
a kind of blue funk.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
