Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “The politician who never made a mistake never made a decision.”
    —John Major (b. 1943)

    “Being offended is the natural consequence of leaving one’s home. I do not like after- shave lotion, adults who roller-skate, children who speak French, or anyone who is unduly tan. I do not, however, go around enacting legislation and putting up signs.”
    —Fran Lebowitz (b. 1950)
