Elective Quotes (page 6)

One of the problems we saw in the last presidential election in our party is that our nominee, while winning the election, which we ought never to forget, often lost sight of the difference between strategy and tactics. Paul Begala
Benjamin Netanyahu quote: "I always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it..."
I always lose the election in the polls, and I always win it on election day. Benjamin Netanyahu
It is my happy privilege to be able to stand here and tell you that if you elect me you will have elected a governor who has made no promises of preferment to any man or group. Charles Edison
I'm a lobbyist and had a career lobbying. The guy who gets elected or the lady who gets elected president of the United States will immediately be lobbying. They would be advocating to the Congress, they'll be lobbying our allies and our adversaries overseas. They'll be asking the business community and labor unions. Haley Barbour
Helle Thorning-Schmidt quote: "This is not an election where we hand out gifts. It is an..."
This is not an election where we hand out gifts. It is an election where we ask everyone to contribute more. Helle Thorning-Schmidt
Two years before the last election you nor anyone else would have predicted that Barack Obama was going to get elected president of the United States. David Axelrod
They have not always elected the best leaders, particularly after a long period in which they have not used this facility of free election. You tend to lose the habit. Chinua Achebe
Abraham Maslow said that the fully realized person transcends his local group and identifies with the species. But the election of Ronald Reagan might've been the beginning of my giving up on my species. Because it was absurd. To this day it remains absurd. More than absurd, it was frightening: it represented the rise to supremacy of darkness, the ascendancy of ignorance. George Carlin
And as Lindbergh's election couldn't have made clearer to me, the unfolding of the unforeseen was everything. Turned wrong way round, the relentless unforeseen was what we schoolchildren studied as "History," harmless history, where everything unexpected in its own time is chronicled on the page as inevitable. The terror of the unforeseen is what the science of history hides, turning a disaster into an epic. Philip Roth
If you can't, or won't, think of Seymour, then you go right ahead and call in some ignorant psychoanalyst. You just do that. You just call in some analyst who's experienced in adjusting people to the joys of television, and Life magazine every Wednesday, and European travel, and the H-bomb, and Presidential elections, and the front page of the Times, and God knows what else that's gloriously normal. J. D. Salinger
The Democrats, fearful of his grassroots campaign, blamed him for the election of George W. Bush, an absurdity that found fertile ground among those who had abandoned rational inquiry for the thought-terminating clichs of television. Chris Hedges
One of the juiciest pleasures of life is to be able to salute and embrace, as elected leaders and honored representatives, people whom you first met when they were on the run or in exile or (like Adam) in and out of jail. I was to have this experience again, and I hope to have it many more times in the future: it sometimes allows me to feel that life is full of point. Christopher Hitchens
Christopher Hitchens quote: "There should be philosophy and knowledge for the elect,..."
There should be philosophy and knowledge for the elect, religion and sentimentality for the masses Christopher Hitchens
We knew this well, in the years of our childhood, but our curse broke our will. We were guilty and we confess it here: we were guilty of the great Transgression of Preference. We preferred some work and some lessons to the others. We did not listen well to the history of all the Councils elected since the Great Rebirth. But we loved the Science of Things. We wished to know. We wished to know about all the things which make the earth around us. We asked so many questions that the Teachers... Ayn Rand
The doctrines of original sin, election, and effectual calling, final perseverance, and all those great truths which are called Calvinism? though Calvin was not the author of them, but simply an able writer and preacher upon the subject? are, I believe, the essential doctrines of the gospel that is in Jesus Christ. Now, I do not ask you whether you believe all this? it is possible you may not; but I believe you will before you enter heaven. Charles Spurgeon
