Famous quotes containing the words term and/or union:
“A radical is one of whom people say He goes too far. A conservative, on the other hand, is one who doesnt go far enough. Then there is the reactionary, one who doesnt go at all. All these terms are more or less objectionable, wherefore we have coined the term progressive. I should say that a progressive is one who insists upon recognizing new facts as they present themselvesone who adjusts legislation to these new facts.”
—Woodrow Wilson (18561924)
“Maybe we were the blind mechanics of disaster, but you dont pin the guilt on the scientists that easily. You might as well pin it on M motherhood.... Every man who ever worked on this thing told you what would happen. The scientists signed petition after petition, but nobody listened. There was a choice. It was build the bombs and use them, or risk that the United States and the Soviet Union and the rest of us would find some way to go on living.”
—John Paxton (19111985)
