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

    The latest creed that has to be believed
    And entered in our childish catechism
    Is that the All’s a concept self-conceived,
    Which is no more than good old Pantheism.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    In the past, as now, Haiti’s curse has been her politicians. There are still too many men of influence in the country who believe that a national election is a mandate from the people to build themselves a big new house in Petionville and Kenscoff and a trip to Paris.
    Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    Germany collapsed as a result of having engaged in a struggle for empire with the concepts of provincial politics.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)
