Famous quotes containing the words electoral and/or history:

    “Nothing is more unreliable than the populace, nothing more obscure than human intentions, nothing more deceptive than the whole electoral system.”
    —Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    “They are a sort of post-house,where the Fates
    Change horses, making history change its tune,
    Then spur away o’er empires and o’er states,
    Leaving at last not much besides chronology,
    Excepting the post-obits of theology.”
    —George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
