Venustiano Carranza/president of Mexico 1917-1920

Famous quotes containing the words president and/or mexico:

    The President has paid dear for his White House. It has commonly cost him all his peace, and the best of his manly attributes. To preserve for a short time so conspicuous an appearance before the world, he is content to eat dust before the real masters who stand erect behind the throne.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I think New Mexico was the greatest experience from the outside world that I have ever had.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)
