    “Although knaves win in every political struggle, although society seems to be delivered over from the hands of one set of criminals into the hands of another set of criminals, as fast as the government is changed, and the march of civilization is a train of felonies, yet, general ends are somehow answered.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.”
    —Benjamin Disraeli (1804–1881)

    “Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
