Famous quotes containing the words place and/or votes:
“Congress has scarcely any thing to employ them, and complain that the place [Washington, D.C.] is remarkably dull.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“I must sojourn once to the ballot-box before I die. I hear the ballot-box is a beautiful glass globe, so you can see all the votes as they go in. Now, the first time I vote I’ll see if the woman’s vote looks any different from the rest—if it makes any stir or commotion. If it don’t inside, it need not outside.”
—Sojourner Truth (c. 1797–1883)
