Reform Bill

Famous quotes containing the words reform and/or bill:

    He reckoned a body could reform the old man with a shot-gun, maybe, but he didn’t know no other way.
    Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    Is a Bill of Rights a security for [religious liberty]? If there were but one sect in America, a Bill of Rights would be a small protection for liberty.... Freedom derives from a multiplicity of sects, which pervade America, and which is the best and only security for religious liberty in any society. For where there is such a variety of sects, there cannot be a majority of any one sect to oppress and persecute the rest.
    James Madison (1751–1836)
