Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “Well, I am chiefly interested in the renomination, so don’t get disconsolate over that. If we lost the election I shall feel that the party is rejected, whereas if I fail to secure the renomination it will be a personal defeat.”
    —William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    “... dependence upon material possessions inevitably results in the destruction of human character.”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
