Famous quotes containing the words political, parties and/or elections:

    “My father was a statesman, I’m a political woman. My father was a saint. I’m not.”
    —Indira Gandhi (1917–1984)

    “Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
