Famous quotes containing the words distribution and/or alternative:

“My topic for Army reunions ... this summer: How to prepare for war in time of peace. Not by fortifications, by navies, or by standing armies.

Our strength is a contented and intelligent community.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

“If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.”
