Midnight Oil/farm - 1972%e2%80%931976

Famous quotes containing the words midnight, oil and/or farm:

    We need more of the Office Desk and less of the Show Window in politics. Let men in office substitute the midnight oil for the limelight.
    Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    I became increasingly anarchistic. I began to find people of my own class vicious, people in clean collars uninteresting. I even accepted smells, personal as well as official. Everyone who came to the studio smelled either of machine oil or herring.
    Margaret Anderson (1886–1973)

    Farm policy, although it’s complex, can be explained. What it can’t be is believed. No cheating spouse, no teen with a wrecked family car, no mayor of Washington, DC, videotaped in flagrante delicto has ever come up with anything as farfetched as U.S. farm policy.
