Famous quotes containing the words national and/or lottery:

    “In really hard times the rules of the game are altered. The inchoate mass begins to stir. It becomes potent, and when it strikes,... it strikes with incredible emphasis. Those are the rare occasions when a national will emerges from the scattered, specialized, or indifferent blocs of voters who ordinarily elect the politicians. Those are for good or evil the great occasions in a nation’s history.”
    —Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    “I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.”
    —Victoria (1819–1901)
