Famous quotes containing the words vice and/or president:

    “No legislation can suppress nature; all life rushes to reproduction; our procreative faculties are matured early, while passion is strong, and judgment and self-restraint weak. We cannot alter this, but we can alter what is conventional. We can refuse to brand an act of nature as a crime, and to impute to vice what is due to ignorance.”
    —Tennessee Claflin (1846–1923)

    “The President has only 190 million bosses. The Vice President has 190 million and one.”
    —Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)
