Famous quotes containing the words democratic, left and/or alliance:

    No one can doubt the purpose for which the Nation now seeks to use the Democratic Party. It seeks to use it to interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
    Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    Slight are her arms, yet they have bound me straitly
    And left me cloaked as with a gauze of ther;
    As with sweet leaves; as with subtle clearness.
    Ezra Pound (1885–1972)

    I think that a young state, like a young virgin, should modestly stay at home, and wait the application of suitors for an alliance with her; and not run about offering her amity to all the world; and hazarding their refusal.... Our virgin is a jolly one; and tho at present not very rich, will in time be a great fortune, and where she has a favorable predisposition, it seems to me well worth cultivating.
    Benjamin Franklin (1706–1790)
