Famous quotes containing the words official and/or positions:

    I was perfectly certain that I had nothing to offer of an individual nature and that my only chance of doing my duty as the wife of a public official was to do exactly as the majority of women were doing ...
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
