Retired Democratic

Famous quotes containing the words retired and/or democratic:

“I will never accept that I got a free ride. It wasn’t free at all. My ancestors were brought here against their will. They were made to work and help build the country. I worked in the cotton fields from the age of seven. I worked in the laundry for twenty- three years. I worked for the national organization for nine years. I just retired from city government after twelve-and-a- half years.”
—Johnnie Tillmon (b. 1926)

“You see few people here in America who really care very much about living a Christian life in a democratic world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
