Famous quotes containing the words liberal, democrat and/or hold:
“Since he hath got the jewel that I loved,
And that which you did swear to keep for me,
I will become as liberal as you,

No, not my body nor my husband’s bed.”

“I am a democrat only on principle, not by instinct—nobody is that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is grievously given to lying.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
“That children link us with the future is hardly news. . . . When we participate in the growth of children, a sense of wonder must take hold of us, providing for us a sense of future. Without the intimation of concrete individual futures, it is hardly worth bothering with social change and improvement.”
—Greta Hofmann Nemiroff (20th century)
