Public Hearings

Famous quotes containing the words public and/or hearings:

    Having behind us the producing masses of this nation and the world, supported by the commercial interests, the labor interests, and the toilers everywhere, we will answer their demand for a gold standard by saying to them: You shall not press down upon the brow of labor this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind upon a cross of gold.
    —Administration in the State of Neva, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    Aged ears play truant at his tales,
    And younger hearings are quite ravished,
    So sweet and voluble is his discourse.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
