Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or republic:

    “As if paralyzed by the national fear of ideas, the democratic distrust of whatever strikes beneath the prevailing platitudes, it evades all resolute and honest dealing with what, after all, must be every healthy literature’s elementary materials.”
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    “Our constitution works. Our great republic is a government of laws, not of men.”
