Famous quotes containing the words history of, history, democratic and/or republic:

    “The history of the Victorian Age will never be written: we know too much about it.”
    —Lytton Strachey (1880–1932)

    “Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
    —Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)

    “There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.”
    —Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    “It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserves a republic in vigour. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”
    —Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
