World Congress

Famous quotes containing the words world and/or congress:

    There’s nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It’s a thing no married man knows anything about.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    What have Massachusetts and the North sent a few sane representatives to Congress for, of late years?... All their speeches put together and boiled down ... do not match for manly directness and force, and for simple truth, the few casual remarks of crazy John Brown on the floor of the Harper’s Ferry engine-house,—that man whom you are about to hang, to send to the other world, though not to represent you there.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
