Famous quotes containing the words members, elected, parliament, ruling and/or councils:

    “Every diminution of the public burdens arising from taxation gives to individual enterprise increased power and furnishes to all the members of our happy confederacy new motives for patriotic affection and support.”
    —Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)

    “The men the American people admire most extravagantly are the most daring liars; the men they detest most violently are those who try to tell them the truth. A Galileo could no more be elected President of the United States than he could be elected Pope of Rome. Both posts are reserved for men favored by God with an extraordinary genius for swathing the bitter facts of life in bandages of soft illusion.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “What is the historical function of Parliament in this country? It is to prevent the Government from governing.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “Still doth the soul, from its lone fastness high,
    Upon our life a ruling effluence send.
    And when it fails, fight as we will, we die;
    And while it lasts, we cannot wholly end.”
    —Matthew Arnold (1822–1888)

    “Don’t you see what my power does for me? I could sit in on the councils of kings and dictators. It makes me king. It makes me—Nemesis.”
    —Lester Cole (1904–1985)
