Constitutional Reform Act

Famous quotes containing the words reform and/or act:

“Both of us felt more anxiety about the South—about the colored people especially—than about anything else sinister in the result. My hope of a sound currency will somehow be realized; civil service reform will be delayed; but the great injury is in the South. There the Amendments will be nullified, disorder will continue, prosperity to both whites and colored people will be pushed off for years.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous.”
—Niccolò Machiavelli (1469–1527)
