Elders Elected

Famous quotes containing the words elders and/or elected:

    [In response to this question from an interviewer: “U. S. News and World Report described you this way: ‘She’s intolerant, preachy, judgmental and overbearing. She’s bright, articulate, passionate and kind.’ Is that an accurate description?”:]
    It’s ... pretty good [ellipsis in original].
    —Joycelyn Elders (b. 1933)

    Whether elected or appointed
    He considers himself the Lord’s annointed,
    And indeed the ointment lingers on him
    So thick you can’t get your fingers on him.
    Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
