Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “Give me the keys. I feel for the common chord again,
    Sliding by semi-tones till I sink to a minor,—yes,
    And I blunt it into a ninth, and I stand on alien ground,
    Surveying a while the heights I rolled from into the deep;
    Which, hark, I have dared and done, for my resting-place is found,
    The C Major of this life: so, now I will try to sleep.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “The wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
