Fair Election

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or election:

“The present war having so long cut off all communication with Great-Britain, we are not able to make a fair estimate of the state of science in that country. The spirit in which she wages war is the only sample before our eyes, and that does not seem the legitimate offspring either of science or of civilization.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

“What a glorious time they must have in that wilderness, far from mankind and election day!”
