Famous quotes containing the words general and/or election:

    “No government can help the destinies of people who insist in putting sectional and class consciousness ahead of general weal.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
