Famous quotes containing the words political, parties, french and/or possessions:
“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which, in my judgement, will probably for ever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality; and inasmuch as it becomes a necessity that there must be a difference, I ... am in favour of the race to which I belong having the superior position.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“It is best for all parties in the combined family to take matters slowly, to use the crock pot instead of the pressure cooker, and not to aim for a perfect blend but rather to recognize the pleasures to be enjoyed in retaining some of the distinct flavors of the separate ingredients.”
—Claire Berman (20th century)
“The French are nice people. I allow them to sing and to write, and they allow me to do whatever I like.”
—Jules Mazarin (c. 1602–1661)
“Of all possessions a friend is the most precious.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
