Elected Vice President

Famous quotes containing the words vice president, elected, vice and/or president:

    If the vice president thinks it’s disgraceful for an unmarried woman to bear a child, and if he believes that a woman cannot adequately raise a child without a father, then he’d better make sure that abortion remains safe and legal.
    Diane British (b. 1948)

    I was elected a Captain of Volunteers—a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    And they lie like wedges,
    Thick end to thin end and thin end to thick end,
    And are a figure of the way the strong
    Of mind and strong of arm should fit together,
    One thick where one is thin and vice versa.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    ... a friend told me that she had read of a woman who had knitted a wash rag for President Wilson. She was eighty years old and her friends thought it remarkable that she could knit a wash rag! I thought that if a woman of eighty could knit a wash rage for a Democratic President it behooved one of ninety-six to make something more than a wash rag for a Republican President.
    Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
