Famous quotes containing the word fit:
“It’s usually pointed out that women are not fit for political power, and ought not to be trusted with a vote because they are politically ignorant, socially prejudiced, narrow-minded, and selfish. True enough, but precisely the same is true of men!”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
