Howard Government/second Term - 1998-2001

Famous quotes containing the words howard, government and/or term:

    What I am anxious to do is to get the best bill possible with the least amount of friction.... I wish to avoid [splitting our party]. I shall do all in my power to retain the corporation tax as it is now and also force a reduction of the [tariff] schedules. It is only when all other efforts fail that I’ll resort to headlines and force the people into this fight.
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    It’s no go the Government grants, it’s no go the elections, Sit on your arse for fifty years and hang your hat on a pension.
    Louis MacNeice (1907–1963)

    Why did you give no hint that night
    That quickly after the morrow’s dawn,
    And calmly, as if indifferent quite,
    You would close your term here, up and be gone
    Thomas Hardy (1840–1928)
