Famous quotes containing the words senate and/or house:

    “I think the Senate ought to realize that I have to have about me those in whom I have confidence; and unless they find a real blemish on a man, I do not think they ought to make partisan politics out of appointments to the Cabinet.”
    —Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)

    “The farmhouse lingers, though averse to square
    With the new city street it has to wear
    A number in. But what about the brook
    That held the house as in an elbow-crook?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)
