Famous quotes containing the words politicians, public and/or figures:

    “I spent my life mixin’ with your breed, and I don’t like it. Get me. You can hide behind a lot of red tape, crooked lawyers and politicians with the gimmes, writs of habeas corpus, witnesses that don’t remember overnight, but we’ll get through to you, just like we got all the rest.”
    —Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    “Meantime the education of the general mind never stops. The reveries of the true and simple are prophetic. What the tender poetic youth dreams, and prays, and paints today, but shuns the ridicule of saying aloud, shall presently be the resolutions of public bodies, then shall be carried as grievance and bill of rights through conflict and war, and then shall be triumphant law and establishment for a hundred years, until it gives place, in turn, to new prayers and pictures.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “The human heart concerns us more than the poring into microscopes, and is larger than can be measured by the pompous figures of the astronomer.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
