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)

    “How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
    —Stanley Turecki (20th century)
