Famous quotes containing the words leaning and/or republican:
“he dreadful darts
With rapid glide along the leaning line;
And, fixing in the wretch his cruel fangs”

“The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
