—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“This will not be disloyalty but will show that as members of a party they are loyal first to the fine things for which the party stands and when it rejects those things or forgets the legitimate objects for which parties exist, then as a party it cannot command the honest loyalty of its members.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
