Famous quotes containing the words top and/or popular:
“People think that at the top there isn’t much room. They tend to think of it as an Everest. My message is that there is tons of room at the top.”
—Margaret Thatcher (b. 1925)
“Lawyers are necessary in a community. Some of you ... take a different view; but as I am a member of that legal profession, or was at one time, and have only lost standing in it to become a politician, I still retain the pride of the profession. And I still insist that it is the law and the lawyer that make popular government under a written constitution and written statutes possible.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
