Republican

Famous quotes containing the word republican:

“The Republican Party does not perceive how many his failure will make to vote more correctly than they would have them. They have counted the votes of Pennsylvania & Co., but they have not correctly counted Captain Brown’s vote. He has taken the wind out of their sails,—the little wind they had,—and they may as well lie to and repair.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A Republican by principle and devotion, I will, until my death, oppose all Royalists ... and all enemies of my Government and the Republic.”
—Jean Baptiste Bernadotte (1763–1844)

“The Republican form of government is the highest form of government; but because of this it requires the highest type of human nature—a type nowhere at present existing.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
