Famous quotes containing the words summary, seats and/or won:
“I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
“At cheaper and nearer seats of Learning parents with slender incomes may place their sons in a course of education putting them on a level with the sons of the Richest.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“What then in love can woman do?
If we grow fond they shun us.
And when we fly them, they pursue:
But leave us when they’ve won us.”
—John Gay (1685–1732)
