Elections Held

Famous quotes containing the words elections and/or held:

“In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

“Victory comes late—
And is held low to freezing lips—
Too rapt with frost
To take it—”
