Lost Election

Famous quotes containing the words lost and/or election:

    Do not because this day I have grown saturnine
    Imagine that lost love, inseparable from my thought
    Because I have no other youth, can make me pine;
    For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought,
    The comfort that you made?
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.
    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
