Elected

Famous quotes containing the word elected:

    I was elected a Captain of Volunteers—a success which gave me more pleasure than any I have had since.
    Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    The whole bloody system is sick: the very notion of leadership, a balloon with a face painted upon it, elected and inflated by media’s diabolic need to reduce ideas to personalities.
    Kate Millett (b. 1934)

    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)
