Opposition Parties

Famous quotes containing the words opposition and/or parties:

    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.”
