Affect Voting

Famous quotes containing the words affect and/or voting:

    If the warmth of her Language could affect the Body it might
    be worth reading in this weather.
    Jane Austen (1775–1817)

    All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
