Famous quotes containing the words political and/or divisions:

    “The man possessed of a dollar, feels himself to be not merely one hundred cents richer, but also one hundred cents better, than the man who is penniless; so on through all the gradations of earthly possessions—the estimate of our own moral and political importance swelling always in a ratio exactly proportionate to the growth of our purse.”
    —Frances Wright (1795–1852)

    “Nothing does more to activate Christian divisions than talk about Christian unity.”
    —Conor Cruise O’Brien (b. 1917)
