Famous quotes containing the words office and/or holders:

    “Consul. In American politics, a person who having failed to secure an office from the people is given one by the Administration on condition that he leave the country.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “With the holders holding my hand nearing the call of the bird,
    Comrades mine and I in the midst, and their memory ever to keep, for the dead I loved so well,
    For the sweetest, wisest soul of all my days and
    lands—and this for his dear sake,
    Lilac and star and bird twined with the chant of my soul,
    There in the fragrant pines and the cedars dusk and dim.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
