Famous quotes containing the words election and/or result:
“In the past, as now, Haiti’s curse has been her politicians. There are still too many men of influence in the country who believe that a national election is a mandate from the people to build themselves a big new house in Petionville and Kenscoff and a trip to Paris.”
—Zora Neale Hurston (1891–1960)
“Effort and result are never simultaneous. In art, only the result counts.”
—José Bergamín (1895–1983)
