Henry David Thoreau on voting

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts; but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

The people who cast the votes don’t decide an election, the people who count the votes do.

Joseph Stalin1878–1953

Vote early and vote often.

Al Capone1899–1947

The great thing about democracy is that it gives every voter a chance to do something stupid.
