Majority Leader Position

Famous quotes containing the words majority, leader and/or position:

    You and I ... are convinced of the fact that if our Government in Washington and in a majority of the States should revert to the control of those who frankly put property ahead of human beings instead of working for human beings under a system of government which recognizes property, the nation as a whole would again be in a bad situation.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    A bunch of horsemen curtly asked his name,
    Their leader in a different dialect stated
    A war was on for which he was to blame,
    And he must help them.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    There is a certain relief in change, even though it be from bad to worse; as I have found in travelling in a stage- coach, that it is often a comfort to shift one’s position and be bruised in a new place.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)
