Famous quotes containing the words james and/or quayle:

    The sway of alcohol over mankind is unquestionably due to its power to stimulate the mystical faculties of human nature, usually crushed to earth by the cold facts and dry criticisms of the sober hour. Sobriety diminishes, discriminates, and says no; drunkenness expands, unites, and says yes.
    —William James (1842–1910)

    You do the policy, I’ll do the politics.
    —Dan Quayle (b. 1947)
