Official Candidate

Famous quotes containing the words official and/or candidate:

“Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
—James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)

“The Republicans have a “me too” candidate running on a “yes but” platform, advised by a “has been” staff.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
