Famous quotes containing the word wing:

    “If a liberal policy towards the late Rebels is adopted, the ultra Republicans are opposed to it; if the colored people are honored, the extremists of the other wing cry out against it. I suspect I am right in both cases.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
