Famous quotes containing the words federal and/or pact:
“Goodbye, boys; I’m under arrest. I may have to go to jail. I may not see you for a long time. Keep up the fight! Don’t surrender! Pay no attention to the injunction machine at Parkersburg. The Federal judge is a scab anyhow. While you starve he plays golf. While you serve humanity, he serves injunctions for the money powers.”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“I make a pact with you, Walt Whitman—
I have detested you long enough.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
