Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “The more you stay in this kind of job, the more you realize that a public figure, a major public figure, is a lonely man.”
    —Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)

    “No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
    —Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)
