Famous quotes containing the words year and/or elected:
“One of the sadder things, I think,
Is how our birthdays slowly sink:
Presents and parties disappear,
The cards grow fewer year by year,
Till, when one reaches sixty-five,
How many care we’re still alive?”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“I was elected a Captain of Volunteers—a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
