Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “Now that the election is over, may not all, having a common interest, re-unite in a common effort, to save our common country?”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “It would be easy ... to regard the whole of world 3 as timeless, as Plato suggested of his world of Forms or Ideas.... I propose a different view—one which, I have found, is surprisingly fruitful. I regard world 3 as being essentially the product of the human mind.... More precisely, I regard the world 3 of problems, theories, and critical arguments as one of the results of the evolution of human language, and as acting back on this evolution.”
    —Karl Popper (1902–1994)
