Democratic States

Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or states:

    There’s no such thing as socialism pure
    Except as an abstraction of the mind.
    There’s only democratic socialism,
    Monarchic socialism, oligarchic
    The last being what they seem to have in Russia.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
