Famous quotes containing the word washington:
“If Washington were President now, he would have to learn our ways or lose his next election. Only fools and theorists imagine that our society can be handled with gloves or long poles. One must make ones self a part of it. If virtue wont answer our purpose, we must use vice, or our opponents will put us out of office, and this was as true in Washingtons day as it is now, and always will be.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (18381918)
“When you wish upon a star your dreams come true.”
—Ned Washington (190l1976)
“... Washington was not only an important capital. It was a city of fear. Below that glittering and delightful surface there is another story, that of underpaid Government clerks, men and women holding desperately to work that some political pull may at any moment take from them. A city of men in office and clutching that office, and a city of struggle which the country never suspects.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (18761958)
