Famous quotes containing the words cited and/or senator:
“Private property is held sacred in all good governments, and particularly in our own. Yet shall the fear of invading it prevent a general from marching his army over a cornfield or burning a house which protects the enemy? A thousand other instances might be cited to show that laws must sometimes be silent when necessity speaks.”

“I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
