Famous quotes containing the words legislative and/or election:

    “The legislative powers of government reach actions only, and not opinions, ... thus building a wall of separation between Church and State.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)

    “The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
