Famous quotes containing the words latest and/or election:

    “When men were all asleep the snow came flying,
    In large white flakes falling on the city brown,
    Stealthily and perpetually settling and loosely lying,
    Hushing the latest traffic of the drowsy town;”
    —Robert Bridges (1844–1930)

    “The election makes me think of a story of a man who was dying. He had only two minutes to live, so he sent for a clergyman and asked him, “Where is the best place to go to?” He was undecided about it. So the minister told him that each place had its advantages—heaven for climate, and hell for society.”
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
