Bang Measure

Famous quotes containing the words bang and/or measure:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.”

“What Congress and the popular sentiment approve is rarely defeated by reason of constitutional objections. I trust the measure will turn out well. It is a great relief to me. Defeat in this way, after a full and public hearing before this [Electoral] Commission, is not mortifying in any degree, and success will be in all respects more satisfactory.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
