Famous quotes containing the words electoral and/or history:

    “Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.”
    —Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    “This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
    —Titus Livius (Livy)
