Democratic Vote

Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or vote:

    In democratic ages men rarely sacrifice themselves for another, but they show a general compassion for all the human race. One never sees them inflict pointless suffering, and they are glad to relieve the sorrows of others when they can do so without much trouble to themselves. They are not disinterested, but they are gentle.
    Alexis de Tocqueville (1805–1859)

    The woman who can’t influence her husband to vote the way she wants ought to be ashamed of herself.
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
