—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“I do not deny the possibility that the people may err in an election; but if they do, the true [cure] is in the next election, and not in the treachery of the person elected.”
—Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
