Famous quotes containing the words senate, majority and/or leader:
“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealed—and we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumn’s election. However, that is one of the prices that we who live in democracies have to pay. It is, however, worth paying, if all of us can avoid the type of government under which the unfortunate population of Germany and Russia must exist.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
“Since the majority of me
Rejects the majority of you,
Debating ends forthwith, and we
Divide.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
