Famous quotes containing the words opposition and/or parties:
“Husbands and wives generally understand when opposition will be vain.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
“The old parties are husks, with no real soul within either, divided on artificial lines, boss-ridden and privilege-controlled, each a jumble of incongruous elements, and neither daring to speak out wisely and fearlessly on what should be said on the vital issues of the day.”
—Theodore Roosevelt (1858–1919)
