Famous quotes containing the words national and/or lottery:

    “In my public statements I have earnestly urged that there rested upon government many responsibilities which affect the moral and spiritual welfare of our people. The participation of women in elections has produced a keener realization of the importance of these questions and has contributed to higher national ideals. Moreover, it is through them that our national ideals are ingrained in our children.”
    —Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)

    “I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.”
    —Victoria (1819–1901)
