Famous quotes containing the words general and/or congress:

    “Every writer is necessarily a critic—that is, each sentence is a skeleton accompanied by enormous activity of rejection; and each selection is governed by general principles concerning truth, force, beauty, and so on.... The critic that is in every fabulist is like the iceberg—nine-tenths of him is under water.”
    —Thornton Wilder (1897–1975)

    “It is the duty of the President to propose and it is the privilege of the Congress to dispose.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
