Famous quotes containing the words leadership and/or convention:

    “This I do know and can say to you: Our country is in more danger now than at any time since the Declaration of Independence. We don’t dare follow the Lindberghs, Wheelers and Nyes, casting suspicion, sowing discord around the leadership of Franklin D. Roosevelt. We don’t want revolution among ourselves.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “By convention there is color, by convention sweetness, by
    convention bitterness, but in reality there are atoms and space.”
    —Democritus (c. 460–400 B.C.)
