Famous quotes containing the words democracy and/or movement:
“A monarchy is like a man-of-war—bad shots between wind and water hurt it exceedingly; there is a danger of capsizing. But democracy is a raft. You cannot easily overturn it. It is a wet place, but it is a pretty safe one.”
—Flavius Josephus Cook (1838–1901)
“Every little movement has a meaning all its own.”
—Otto Harbach (1873–1963)
