Famous quotes containing the words indirect and/or elections:

    “God knows, my son,
    By what by-paths and indirect crooked ways
    I met this crown.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
