Subtle State

Famous quotes containing the words subtle and/or state:

    Kenneth MacKenzie Clark (20th century)

    The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.
