Famous quotes containing the words executive and/or branch:

    “One point in my public life: I did all I could for the reform of the civil service, for the building up of the South, for a sound currency, etc., etc., but I never forgot my party.... I knew that all good measures would suffer if my Administration was followed by the defeat of my party. Result, a great victory in 1880. Executive and legislature both completely Republican.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds; and the pessimist fears this is true.”
    —James Branch Cabell (1879–1958)
