Holding Account

Famous quotes containing the words holding and/or account:

“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

“I never could get on with representative individuals—but people who existed on their own account and with whom it might therefore be possible to be friends.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)
