Majority Leader Position

Famous quotes containing the words majority, leader and/or position:

“No common-place is ever effectually got rid of, except by essentially emptying one’s self of it into a book; for once trapped in a book, then the book can be put into the fire, and all will be well. But they are not always put into the fire; and this accounts for the vast majority of miserable books over those of positive merit.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)

“In Pierre Elliot Trudeau, Canada has at last produced a political leader worthy of assassination.”
