Famous quotes containing the words republican and/or whip:
“The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It does not matter what the whip is; it is none the less a whip, because you have cut thongs for it out of your own souls.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
