Famous quotes containing the words general and/or election:

    “Towards him they bend
    With awful reverence prone; and as a God
    Extoll him equal to the highest in Heav’n:
    Nor fail’d they to express how much they prais’d,
    That for the general safety he despis’d
    His own: for neither do the Spirits damn’d
    Loose all thir vertue; lest bad men should boast
    Thir specious deeds on earth, which glory excites,
    Or close ambition varnisht o’er with zeal.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “Now that the election is over, may not all, having a common interest, re-unite in a common effort, to save our common country?”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
