—Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
“Now that the election is over, may not all, having a common interest, re-unite in a common effort, to save our common country?”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“Now, Mr. President, we don’t intend to trouble you during the campaign but after you are elected, then look out for us!”
