Newfoundland and Labrador General Election

Famous quotes containing the words labrador, general and/or election:

    A man is like a bit of Labrador spar, which has no lustre as you turn it in your hand, until you come to a particular angle; then it shows deep and beautiful colors.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.
    Morning Prayer, General Confession, Book of Common Prayer (1662)

    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)
