Famous quotes containing the words election and/or results:

    “Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “I have no doubt that it was a principle they fought for, as much as our ancestors, and not to avoid a three-penny tax on their tea; and the results of this battle will be as important and memorable to those whom it concerns as those of the battle of Bunker Hill, at least.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
