Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:

    I began to expand my personal service in the church, and to search more diligently for a closer relationship with God among my different business, professional and political interests.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    All parties attempt to represent important things that have developed outside themselves as unimportant, and where they fail in this they assail those things all the more bitterly the more admirable they are.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.
    Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
