Political Rumor

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or rumor:

“Even the poor student studies and is taught only political economy, while that economy of living which is synonymous with philosophy is not even sincerely professed in our colleges.

“One rumor straight comes huddling on another
Of death, and death, and death!”
