Famous quotes containing the word features:

    “These, then, will be some of the features of democracy ... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, particolored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)
