Famous quotes containing the word vote:

    “While I believe that with a fair election in the South, our electoral vote would reach two hundred, and that we should have a large popular majority, I am yet anxious, as you are, that in the canvassing of results there should be no taint of dishonesty.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The customer is the immediate jewel of our souls. Him we flatter, him we feast, compliment, vote for, and will not contradict.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “My philosophy is such that I am not going to vote against the oppressed. I have been oppressed, and so I am always going to have a vote for the oppressed, regardless of whether that oppressed is black or white or yellow or the people of the Middle East, or what. I have that feeling.”
    —Septima Clark (1898–1987)
