Famous quotes containing the words historical, election and/or results:

    “By contrast with history, evolution is an unconscious process. Another, and perhaps a better way of putting it would be to say that evolution is a natural process, history a human one.... Insofar as we treat man as a part of nature—for instance in a biological survey of evolution—we are precisely not treating him as a historical being. As a historically developing being, he is set over against nature, both as a knower and as a doer.”
    —Owen Barfield (b. 1898)

    “[If not re-elected in 1864] then it will be my duty to so co-operate with the President elect, as to save the Union between the election and the inauguration; as he will have secured his election on such ground that he can not possibly save it afterwards.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “Social improvement is attained more readily by a concern with the quality of results than with the purity of motives.”
    —Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
