Deprived

Famous quotes containing the word deprived:

“He is senseless who would match himself against a stronger man; for he is deprived of victory and adds suffering to disgrace.”
—Hesiod (c. 8th century B.C.)

“It could be clearly proved that by a practical nullification [by the South] of the Fifteenth Amendment the Republicans have for several years been deprived of a majority in both the House and Senate. The failure of the South to faithfully observe the Fifteenth Amendment is the cause of the failure of all efforts towards complete pacification. It is on this hook that the bloody shirt now hangs.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
