William L. Marcy quotes
-
“To the victor belong the spoils of the enemy.”
-- William L. Marcy -
“The politicians of New York as not so fastidious as some gentlemen are, as to disclosing the principles on which they act. They boldly preach what they practice...if they are defeated, they expect to retire from office. If they are successful, they claim, as a matter of right, the advantages of success. They see nothing wrong in the rule that to the victor belongs the spoils of the enemy.”
-- William L. Marcy
