Famous quotes containing the words visible, vote, presidential and/or forum:

    “Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.”
    —Robert Bresson (b. 1907)

    “While I shall not vote for the prohibition amendment, I would like to see a good, wholesome expression of temperance sentiment.... Personally I do not resort to force—not even the force of law—to advance moral reforms. I prefer education, argument, persuasion, and above all the influence of example—of fashion.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The Republican Vice Presidential Candidate ... asks you to place him a heartbeat from the Presidency.”
    —Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)

    “What is called eloquence in the forum is commonly found to be rhetoric in the study. The orator yields to the inspiration of a transient occasion, and speaks to the mob before him, to those who can hear him; but the writer, whose more equable life is his occasion, and who would be distracted by the event and the crowd which inspire the orator, speaks to the intellect and heart of mankind, to all in any age who can understand him.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
