Famous quotes containing the words national, democratic and/or party:

    “The word which gives the key to the national vice is waste. And people who are wasteful are not wise, neither can they remain young and vigorous. In order to transmute energy to higher and more subtle levels one must first conserve it.”
    —Henry Miller (1891–1980)

    “People think they have taken quite an extraordinarily bold step forward when they have rid themselves of belief in hereditary monarchy and swear by the democratic republic. In reality, however, the state is nothing but a machine for the oppression of one class by another, and indeed in the democratic republic no less than in the monarchy.”
    —Friedrich Engels (1820–1895)

    “There was an old party of Lyme
    Who married three wives at one time.”
    —Edward Lear (1812–1888)
