    The short lesson that comes out of long experience in political agitation is something like this: all the motive power in all of these movements is the instinct of religious feeling. All the obstruction comes from attempting to rely on anything else. Conciliation is the enemy.
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    I’m getting married in the morning,
    Ding! dong! the bells are gonna chime.
    Pull out the stopper;
    Let’s have a whopper;
    But get me to the church on time!
    —Alan Jay Lerner (1918–1986)

    The fact that a man is to vote forces him to think. You may preach to a congregation by the year and not affect its thought because it is not called upon for definite action. But throw your subject into a campaign and it becomes a challenge.
    —John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)
