Quotes about public office

  • If a large city can, after intense intellectual efforts, choose for its mayor a man who merely will not steal from it, we consider it a triumph of the suffrage. (Colby Frank Moore)
  • The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies. (Colby Frank Moore)

  • We say that someone occupies an official position, whereas it is the official position that occupies him. (Colby Frank Moore)
