Famous quotes containing the words latest, election and/or result:

    It is grateful to make one’s way through this latest generation as through dewy grass.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Now that the election is over, may not all, having a common interest, re-unite in a common effort, to save our common country?
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    That all [Berkeley’s] arguments, though otherwise intended, are, in reality, merely sceptical, appears from this, that they admit of no answer and produce no conviction. Their only effect is to cause that momentary amazement and irresolution and confusion, which is the result of scepticism.
    David Hume (1711–1776)
