Exclusion Act

Famous quotes containing the words exclusion and/or act:

    All men, in the abstract, are just and good; what hinders them, in the particular, is, the momentary predominance of the finite and individual over the general truth. The condition of our incarnation in a private self, seems to be, a perpetual tendency to prefer the private law, to obey the private impulse, to the exclusion of the law of the universal being.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    In a democracy dissent is an act if faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but its effects.
    J. William Fulbright (1905–19)
