Famous quotes containing the word record:

    As to the thirty-six Senators who placed themselves on record against the principle of a World Court, I am inclined to think that if they ever get to Heaven they will be doing a great deal of apologizing for a very long time—that is if God is against war—and I think He is.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
