Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “In the past, as now, Haiti’s curse has been her politicians. There are still too many men of influence in the country who believe that a national election is a mandate from the people to build themselves a big new house in Petionville and Kenscoff and a trip to Paris.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “The study and knowledge of the universe would somehow be lame and defective were no practical results to follow.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)
