Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or beliefs:
“[The election] ... was an event in which, so far as the personal side is concerned, the victory was to him who lost and the defeat to him who won. I can say that never in the last fifteen years have I had the peace of mind that I have since the election. I have almost a feeling of elation.”

—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
