Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    Society needs to condemn a little more and understand a little less.
    —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)
