“He who placed me in this seat will keep me here.”
—Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
“I now leave Charleston, the seat of Satan, dissipation, and folly.”
—Administration in the State of Sout, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“Unpleasant questions are being raised about Mother’s Day. Is this day necessary? . . . Isn’t it bad public policy? . . . No politician with half his senses, which a majority of politicians have, is likely to vote for its abolition, however. As a class, mothers are tender and loving, but as a voting bloc they would not hesitate for an instant to pull the seat out from under any Congressman who suggests that Mother is not entitled to a box of chocolates each year in the middle of May.”
—Russell Baker (20th century)
