Famous quotes containing the word ruling:

    “We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “When a man gives himself up to the government of a ruling passion,—or, in other words, when his HOBBY-HORSE grows head- strong,—farewell cool reason and fair discretion.”
    —Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
