Famous quotes containing the words executive and/or branch:

    “More than ten million women march to work every morning side by side with the men. Steadily the importance of women is gaining not only in the routine tasks of industry but in executive responsibility. I include also the woman who stays at home as the guardian of the welfare of the family. She is a partner in the job and wages. Women constitute a part of our industrial achievement.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    “That man’s the true Conservative
    Who lops the mouldered branch away.”
    —Alfred Tennyson (1809–1892)
