Famous quotes containing the words piece, exit and/or doors:
“While I am in favor of the Government promptly enforcing the laws for the present, defending the forts and collecting the revenue, I am not in favor of a war policy with a view to the conquest of any of the slave States; except such as are needed to give us a good boundary.

“There is no exit from the circle of one’s beliefs.”
—Keith Lehrer (b. 1936)
