Famous quotes containing the words bids and/or conference:
“He bids you ... to take mercy
On the poor souls for whom this hungry war
Opens his vasty jaws.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
