Governor quotes
" And for the season it was winter, and they that know the winters of that country know them to be sharp and violent, and subject to cruel and fierce storms. "

William Bradford
" Our American values are not luxuries but necessities, not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. Our common vision of a free and just society is our greatest source of cohesion at home and strength abroad, greater than the bounty of our material blessings. "

Jimmy Carter
" War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other's children. "

Jimmy Carter
" We live in a time of transition, an uneasy era which is likely to endure for the rest of this century. During the period we may be tempted to abandon some of the time-honored principles and commitments which have been proven during the difficult times of past generations. We must never yield to this temptation. Our American values are not luxuries, but necessities - not the salt in our bread, but the bread itself. "

Jimmy Carter
" We should live our lives as though Christ were coming this afternoon. "

Jimmy Carter
" Canada has two emblems - the beaver and the maple. "

John W Dawson

John W Dawson
" Now multitudes of root words are identical in the American languages over vast areas some of them with precisely the same senses, and others with various shades of analogical meaning. "

John W Dawson
" Some of our artists have the bad taste to represent the beaver as perched on the maple bough, a most unpleasant position for the poor animal, and suggestive of the thought, that he is in the act of gnawing through the trunk of our national tree (the maple). "

John W Dawson
" The beaver in his sagacity, his industry, his ingenuity, and his perseverance, is a most respectable animal: a much better emblem for our country than the rapacious eagle or even the lordly lion; but he is also a type of unvarying instincts and Old World traditions. "

John W Dawson
" My decision on this matter is as certain and final as death and the staggering New Deal taxes. "

Thomas E Dewey
" I had hoped to let the one-half cent sales tax sunset this year, but we do not believe revenues will grow as fast as we hoped for the rest of the year. "

Michael F Easley
" My budget is a solid, balanced plan that allows us to make real, sustainable progress and provides the revenue necessary to fund our priorities. "

Michael F Easley
" Real vision demands that we make tough choices. Real vision is responsible and it is paid for. "

Michael F Easley
" So our message to these students is simple: stay in school and study hard. Washington may leave you on the curb, but North Carolina will not. "
