    Let the people think they govern and they will be governed.

    Do not forget! For those green times now laugh
    In glee with sport and thought and lily dance;
    And fate in vanity now leaps to chaff
    Me smiling at her winking circumstance.

    I spoke at a woman’s club in Philadelphia yesterday and a young lady said to me afterwards, “Well, that sounds very nice, but don’t you think it is better to be the power behind the throne?” I answered that I had not had much experience with thrones, but a woman who has been on a throne, and who is now behind it, seems to prefer to be on the throne.
    Anna Howard Shaw (1847–1919)
