Famous quotes containing the words fluid and/or measures:
“Eye, gazelle, delicate wanderer,
Drinker of horizons fluid line;
Ear that suspends on a chord
The spirit drinking timelessness;
Touch, love, all senses;”

“One point in my public life: I did all I could for the reform of the civil service, for the building up of the South, for a sound currency, etc., etc., but I never forgot my party.... I knew that all good measures would suffer if my Administration was followed by the defeat of my party. Result, a great victory in 1880. Executive and legislature both completely Republican.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (18221893)
