Famous quotes containing the words members of parliament, members of, members and/or parliament:

    “The English people believes itself to be free; it is gravely mistaken; it is free only during election of members of parliament; as soon as the members are elected, the people is enslaved; it is nothing. In the brief moment of its freedom, the English people makes such a use of that freedom that it deserves to lose it.”
    —Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

    “For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ.”
    —Bible: New Testament, 1 Corinthians 12:12.

    “In every party there is one person who, through his dotingly credulous enunciation of party principles, incites the other members to defection.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The war shook down the Tsardom, an unspeakable abomination, and made an end of the new German Empire and the old Apostolic Austrian one. It ... gave votes and seats in Parliament to women.... But if society can be reformed only by the accidental results of horrible catastrophes ... what hope is there for mankind in them? The war was a horror and everybody is the worse for it.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
