Famous quotes containing the words tests and/or unit:

    “The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.”
    —Gail Sheehy (b. 1937)

    “During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
