Famous quotes containing the words republic and/or pictures:

    “Our constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws, not of men.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “There is nothing on earth more exquisite than a bonny book, with well-placed columns of rich black writing in beautiful borders, and illuminated pictures cunningly inset. But nowadays, instead of looking at books, people read them. A book might as well be one of those orders for bacon and bran.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
