Famous quotes containing the words party and/or conference:

    This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.
    Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)

    Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
    Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
