Voters Prefer

Famous quotes containing the words voters and/or prefer:

“All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with moral questions; and betting naturally accompanies it. The character of the voters is not staked. I cast my vote, perchance, as I think right; but I am not vitally concerned that right should prevail. I am willing to leave it to the majority.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“We prefer self-government with danger to servitude in tranquility.”
—Kwame Nkrumah (1900–1972)
