Famous quotes containing the words major and/or legislation:

    “A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.”
    —Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    “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)
