Famous quotes containing the words indian, general and/or election:
“The Indian remarked as before, “Must have hard wood to cook moose-meat,” as if that were a maxim, and proceeded to get it. My companion cooked some in California fashion, winding a long string of the meat round a stick and slowly turning it in his hand before the fire. It was very good. But the Indian, not approving of the mode, or because he was not allowed to cook it his own way, would not taste it.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.”

“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”
