Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “Savages cling to a local god of one tribe or town. The broad ethics of Jesus were quickly narrowed to village theologies, which preach an election or favoritism.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    ““The ideal reasoner,” he remarked, “would, when he had once been shown a single fact in all its bearings, deduce from it not only all the chain of events which led up to it but also all the results which would follow from it.””
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
