    Have ye got the parcel there for Mrs White?
    Ye haven’t! Oh, begorra!
    Say it’s comin’ down tomorra—
    And it might now, Michael, so it might!’

    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)
