Famous quotes containing the words fourth and/or republic:

    “I asked my mother for fifty cents
    To see the elephant jump the fence.

    And didn’t get back till the Fourth of July.”
    —Unknown. I Asked My Mother (l. 1–4)

    “People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
    —Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)
