Famous quotes containing the words ohio, secretary, state and/or elections:

    “Heaven is not one of your fertile Ohio bottoms, you may depend on it.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “... the wife of an executive would be a better wife had she been a secretary first. As a secretary, you learn to adjust to the boss’s moods. Many marriages would be happier if the wife would do that.”
    —Anne Bogan, U.S. executive secretary. As quoted in Working, book 1, by Studs Terkel (1973)

    “There are innumerable questions to which the inquisitive mind can in this state receive no answer: Why do you and I exist? Why was this world created? Since it was to be created, why was it not created sooner?”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
