Political Reform

Famous quotes containing the words political and/or reform:

“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)

“The reform [of the civil service] should be thorough, radical, and complete.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
