Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or vote:

“The best of us would rather be popular than right.”

“But also the constituency determines the vote of the representative. He is not only representative, but participant. Like can only be known by like. The reason why he knows about them is, that he is of them; he has just come out of nature, or from being a part of the thing.”
