Democracy is a process by which the people are free to choose the man who will get the blame

The English think they are free They are free only during the election of members of parliament

You don t have to fool all the people all of the time; you just have to fool enough to get elected

If poor people can vote one of the main things they vote for is to redistribute money to themselves

Things on the whole are much faster in America; people don t stand for election they run for office

Why pay money to have your family tree traced; go into politics and your opponents will do it for you

Vote: The instrument and symbol of a freeman s power to make a fool of himself and a wreck of his country
