Affect Voting

Famous quotes containing the words affect and/or voting:

    I love the people,
    But do not like to stage me to their eyes;
    Though it do well, I do not relish well
    Their loud applause and aves vehement;
    Nor do I think the man of safe discretion
    That does affect it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Even voting for the right is doing nothing for it. It is only expressing feebly your desire that it should prevail. A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
