Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

“What, really, is wanted from a neighborhood? Convenience, certainly, an absence of major aggravation, to be sure. But perhaps most of all, ideally, what is wanted is a comfortable background, a breathing space of intermission between the intensities of private life and the calculations of public life.”
—Joseph Epstein (b. 1937)

“The wise know that foolish legislation is a rope of sand, which perishes in the twisting.”
