Operative Party

Famous quotes containing the words operative and/or party:

“I think the fall from the farmer to the operative as great and memorable as that from the man to the farmer.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations. I refuse, and the Republican Party refuses, to endorse that method of sham and shoddy economy.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
