Famous quotes containing the words federal, election and/or results:

    Prestige is the shadow of money and power. Where these are, there it is. Like the national market for soap or automobiles and the enlarged arena of federal power, the national cash-in area for prestige has grown, slowly being consolidated into a truly national system.
    C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

    Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    For every life and every act
    Consequence of good and evil can be shown
    And as in time results of many deeds are blended
    So good and evil in the end become confounded.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
