Famous quotes containing the words mount and/or hope:

“Nixon is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump for a speech on conservation.”

“Latin America is very fond of the word “hope.” We like to be called the “continent of hope.” Candidates for deputy, senator, president, call themselves “candidates of hope.” This hope is really something like a promise of heaven, an IOU whose payment is always being put off. It is put off until the next legislative campaign, until next year, until the next century.”
—Pablo Neruda (1904–1973)
