Moderate Liberal Party (Norwegian: Moderate Venstre) was a Norwegian political party that emerged from the conservative branch of the Liberal Party in 1888, consisting mainly of the Low Church. The party became the third Norwegian parliamentary party, after only four years of a two-party system.
Famous quotes containing the words moderate, liberal and/or party:
“No man, however benevolent, liberal, and wise, can use a large fortune so that it will do half as much good in the world as it would if it were divided into moderate sums and in the hands of workmen who had earned it by industry and frugality. The piling up of estates often does great and conspicuous good.... But no man does with accumulated wealth so much good as the same amount would do in many hands.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“What more do I need to say? Conservative books sell. I can’t help it if liberal books don’t sell.”
—Newt Gingrich (b. 1943)
“A stiff apology is a second insult.... The injured party does not want to be compensated because he has been wronged; he wants to be healed because he has been hurt.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
