Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “What a glorious time they must have in that wilderness, far from mankind and election day!”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library. A company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civil countries in a thousand years have set in best order the results of their learning and wisdom. The men themselves were hid and inaccessible, solitary, impatient of interruption, fenced by etiquette; but the thought which they did not uncover in their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
