Election Held

Famous quotes containing the words election and/or held:

“In every election in American history both parties have their clichés. The party that has the clichés that ring true wins.”

“Biography, in its purer form, confined to the ended lives of the true and brave, may be held the fairest meed of human virtue—one given and received in entire disinterestedness—since neither can the biographer hope for acknowledgment from the subject, not the subject at all avail himself of the biographical distinction conferred.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
