Famous quotes containing the words state and/or election:
“till disproportion’d sin
Jarr’d against natures chime, and with harsh din
Broke the fair musick that all creatures made
To their great Lord, whose love their motion sway’d
In perfect Diapason, whilst they stood
In first obedience, and their state of good.”
—John Milton (1608–1674)
“Now that the election is over, may not all, having a common interest, re-unite in a common effort, to save our common country?”
