Fair Election

Famous quotes containing the words fair and/or election:

    That you are fair or wise is vain,
    Or strong, or rich, or generous;
    You must have also the untaught strain
    That sheds beauty on the rose.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    [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)
