Famous quotes containing the words michael and/or hayes:

    Sometimes we have to go through the darkness alone, before we can see the light.
    —Adele Comandini. Edward Sutherland. Michael O’Brien (Charles Winninger)

    We saw the machinery where murderers are now executed. Seven have been executed. The plan is better than the old one. It is quietly done. Only a few, at the most about thirty or forty, can witness [an execution]. It excites nobody outside of the list permitted to attend. I think the time for capital punishment has passed. I would abolish it. But while it lasts this is the best mode.
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
