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.)

    “My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
    —Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
