Place Votes

Famous quotes containing the words place and/or votes:

    Gold? Yellow, glittering, precious gold?
    ...
    This yellow slave
    Will knit and break religions, bless th’ accursed,
    Make the hoar leprosy adored, place thieves,
    And give them title, knee and approbation
    With senators on the bench.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Yet do not I invite
    The wrinkled shopman to my sounding woods,
    Nor bid the unwilling senator
    Ask votes of thrushes in the solitudes.
    Every one to his chosen work.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
