More quotes by David Graham Phillips
The important point is to be on the spot at the moment most favorable for gaining the desired advantage and it will be found that of men who get what they want in this world, both those who seem to hasten and those who seem to lounge are always at the right place at the right time.
David Graham Phillips
Treason is a strong word, but not too strong to characterize the situation in which the Senate is the eager, resourceful, and indefatigable agent of interests as hostile to the American people as any invading army could be.
