Famous quotes containing the words national, democratic and/or party:

    “We want, and must have, a national policy, as to slavery, which deals with it as being wrong.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “From now on, I think it is safe to predict, neither the Democratic nor the Republican Party will ever nominate for President a candidate without good looks, stage presence, theatrical delivery, and a sense of timing.”
    —James Thurber (1894–1961)

    “We are the party of all labor.
    The whole earth shall be ours to share
    And every race and craft our neighbor.
    No idle class shall linger there
    Like vultures on the wealth we render
    From field and factory, mill and mine.
    Tomorrow’s sun will rise in splendor
    And light us till the end of time.”
    —Eugène Pottier (1816–1887)
