Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “In the past, as now, Haiti’s curse has been her politicians. There are still too many men of influence in the country who believe that a national election is a mandate from the people to build themselves a big new house in Petionville and Kenscoff and a trip to Paris.”
    —Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)

    “Life and language are alike sacred. Homicide and verbicide—that is, violent treatment of a word with fatal results to its legitimate meaning, which is its life—are alike forbidden.”
    —Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr. (1809–1894)
