Famous quotes containing the words advance and/or party:

    “Judge Ginsburg’s selection should be a model—chosen on merit and not ideology, despite some naysaying, with little advance publicity. Her treatment could begin to overturn a terrible precedent: that is, that the most terrifying sentence among the accomplished in America has become, “Honey—the White House is on the phone.””
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)

    “Party honesty is party duty, and party courage is party expediency.”
    —Grover Cleveland (1837–1908)
