Famous quotes containing the words people and/or republic:

    “He makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “I date the end of the old republic and the birth of the empire to the invention, in the late thirties, of air conditioning. Before air conditioning, Washington was deserted from mid-June to September.... But after air conditioning and the Second World War arrived, more or less at the same time, Congress sits and sits while the presidents—or at least their staffs—never stop making mischief.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)
