Famous quotes containing the words local and/or politics:

    “The poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
    Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
    And as imagination bodies forth
    The forms of things unknown, the poet’s pen
    Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
    A local habitation and a name.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “In politics people throw themselves, as on a sickbed, from one side to the other in the belief they will lie more comfortably.”
    —Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
