Famous quotes containing the words state and/or senator:
“There is such a thing as caste, even in the West; but it is comparatively faint; it is conservatism here. It says, forsake not your calling, outrage no institution, use no violence, rend no bonds; the State is thy parent. Its virtue or manhood is wholly filial.”

“I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.”
