Famous quotes containing the words howard and/or hunt:
“It is not impossible, of course, after such an administration as Roosevelt’s and after the change in method that I could not but adapt in view of my different way of looking at things, that questions should arise as to whether I should go back on the principles of the Roosevelt administration.... I have a government of limited power under a Constitution, and we have got to work out our problems on the basis of law. Now, if that is reactionary, then I am a reactionary.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
“Would any but these boiled-brains of nineteen and two-and-twenty hunt this weather?”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
