“People often say that, in a democracy, decisions are made by a majority of the people. Of course that is not true. Decisions are made by a majority of those who make themselves heard and who vote—a very different thing.”
—Walter H. Judd


“Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.”
