Universal Adult Suffrage

Famous quotes containing the words universal, adult and/or suffrage:

    “So having said, a while he stood, expecting
    Their universal shout and high applause
    To fill his ear; when contrary, he hears,

    A dismal universal hiss, the sound
    Of public scorn.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)

    “... a large portion of those who demand woman suffrage are persons who have not been trained to reason, and are chiefly guided by their generous sensibilities.”
