Famous quotes containing the words geographical and/or constituency:

    “While you are divided from us by geographical lines, which are imaginary, and by a language which is not the same, you have not come to an alien people or land. In the realm of the heart, in the domain of the mind, there are no geographical lines dividing the nations.”
    —Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)

    “But also the constituency determines the vote of the representative. He is not only representative, but participant. Like can only be known by like. The reason why he knows about them is, that he is of them; he has just come out of nature, or from being a part of the thing.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
