Famous quotes containing the words mallet and/or strikes:
“But the ball is lost and the mallet slipped long since from the hands
Under the running tap that are not the hands of a child.”

“Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man’s appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
