Famous quotes containing the words air and/or power:
“Every living language, like the perspiring bodies of living creatures, is in perpetual motion and alteration; some words go off, and become obsolete; others are taken in, and by degrees grow into common use; or the same word is inverted to a new sense or notion, which in tract of time makes an observable change in the air and features of a language, as age makes in the lines and mien of a face.”
—Richard Bentley (16621742)
“I talk democracy to these men and women. I tell them that they have the vote, and that theirs is the kingdom and the power and the glory. I say to them You are supreme: exercise your power. They say, Thats right: tell us what to do; and I tell them. I say Exercise your vote intelligently by voting for me. And they do. Thats democracy; and a splendid thing it is too for putting the right men in the right place.”
—George Bernard Shaw (18561950)
