Famous quotes containing the words congress, russian, social, democratic, labour and/or party:

    “The veto is a President’s Constitutional right, given to him by the drafters of the Constitution because they wanted it as a check against irresponsible Congressional action. The veto forces Congress to take another look at legislation that has been passed. I think this is a responsible tool for a president of the United States, and I have sought to use it responsibly.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “To be born in a new country one has to die in the motherland.”
    —Irina Mogilevskaya, Russian student. “Immigrating to the U.S.,” student paper in an English as a Second Language class, Hunter College, 1995.

    “Condemned to Hope’s delusive mine,
    As on we toil from day to day,
    By sudden blasts or slow decline
    Our social comforts drop away.”
    —Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)

    “The Democratic Party is like a mule. It has neither pride of ancestry nor hope of posterity.”
    —Ignatius Donnelly (1831–1901)

    “What a vast traffic is drove, what a variety of labour is performed in the world to the maintenance of thousands of families that altogether depend on two silly if not odious customs; the taking of snuff and smoking of tobacco; both of which it is certain do infinitely more hurt than good to those that are addicted to them!”
    —Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    “This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
