Some to the common pulpits, and cry out / “Liberty, freedom, and enfranchisement!”

Television is democracy at its ugliest.

The king times are fast finishing. There will be blood shed like water, and tears like mist; but the peoples will conquer in the end.

What keeps the democracy alive at all but the hatred of excellence, the desire of the base to see no head higher than their own?

If the people be the governors, who shall be governed?

An election is coming. Universal peace is declared, and the foxes have a sincere interest in prolonging the lives of the poultry.

The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.

An electoral choice of ten different fascists is like choosing which way one wishes to die.

Democracy produces both heroes and villains, but it differs from a fascist state in that it does not produce a hero who is a villain.

Do you suppose it possible to know democracy without knowing the people?

Nothing but a permanent body can check the imprudence of democracy.

The worship of opinion is, at this day, the established religion of the United States.

Let the people think they govern, and they will be governed.
