Political Rumor

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or rumor:

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

“I heard a bustling rumor like a fray,
And the wind blows it from the Capitol.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
