—Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C)
“The disfranchisement of a single legal elector by fraud or intimidation is a crime too grave to be regarded lightly.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“I doubt whether classical education ever has been or can be successfully carried out without corporal punishment.”
