Famous quotes containing the words party and/or leaders:

    “Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children’s party taken over by the elders.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “When the leaders choose to make themselves bidders at an auction of popularity, their talents, in the construction of the state, will be of no service. They will become flatterers instead of legislators; the instruments, not the guides, of the people.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
