Famous quotes containing the words temple and/or presidents:

    “After Voltaire: envy is chained to the portico of the temple of glory and can neither enter nor leave.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “All Presidents start out to run a crusade but after a couple of years they find they are running something less heroic and much more intractable: namely the presidency. The people are well cured by then of election fever, during which they think they are choosing Moses. In the third year, they look on the man as a sinner and a bumbler and begin to poke around for rumours of another Messiah.”
    —Alistair Cooke (b. 1908)
