Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.

A republic cannot succeed, till it contains a certain body of men imbued with the principles of justice and honour.

I do not deny the possibility that the people may err in an election; but if they do, the true cure is in the next election.

To give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.

According to our ancient faith, the just powers of government are derived from the consent of the governed.

The ballot is stronger than the bullet.
