Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.

It isn't sufficient just to want - you've got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.

Men are not prisoners of fate, but only prisoners of their own minds.

It is an unfortunate human failing that a full pocketbook often groans more loudly than an empty stomach.

Unfortunately, you can't vote the rascals out, because you never voted them in, in the first place.

I don't think it's so important who you vote for - you vote for who you believe in. The important thing is to vote, because it's our way and it's the best way.

Voting is easy and marginally useful, but it is a poor substitute for democracy, which requires direct action by concerned citizens.
