Republic Quotes

In the first place, it is to be remembered, that the general government is not to be charged with the whole power of making and administering laws. Its jurisdiction is limited to certain enumerated objects, which concern all the members of the republic, but which are not to be attained by the separate provisions of any Picture Quote #1

The true principle of a republic is that the people should choose whom they please to govern them. Representation is imperfect, in proportion as the current of popular favor is checked. The great source of free government, popular election, should be perfectly pure, and the most unbounded liberty allowed Picture Quote #1

Society is a republic. When an individual endeavors to lift himself above his fellows, he is dragged down by the mass, either by means of ridicule or of calumny. No one shall be more virtuous or more intellectually gifted than others. Whoever, by the irresistable force of genius, rises above the common herd is certain to be ostracized by society, which will pursue him with such merciless derision and detraction that at last he will be compelled to retreat into the solitude of his thoughts Picture Quote #1

I can imagine no greater disservice to the country than to establish a system of censorship that would deny to the people of a free republic like our own their indisputable right to criticize their own public officials. While exercising the great powers of the office I hold, I would regret in a crisis like the one through which we are now passing to lose the benefit of patriotic and intelligent criticism Picture Quote #1

I have indeed two great measures at heart, without which no republic can maintain itself in strength: 1. That of general education, to enable every man to judge for himself what will secure or endanger his freedom. 2. To divide every county into hundreds, of such size that all the children of each will be within reach of a central school in it Picture Quote #1

The safety of a republic depends essentially on the energy of a common national sentiment; on a uniformity of principles and habits; on the exemption of the citizens from foreign bias and prejudice; and on that love of country which will almost invariably be found to be closely connected with birth, education and family Picture Quote #1

Now one of two things is true: Either a republic is a desirable form of government, or else it is not Picture Quote #1

I have just come from the castle, where I have seen the president of the republic, and I can tell you that he has accepted all of my proposals without making any changes Picture Quote #1

That is why I came to conclusion that the election must take place, so that the republic can have a government. If I were to say that everything will change for the better immediately, that would not be true. The struggle will continue for a long time Picture Quote #1

A nation that may be justly called a republic, disguised under the form of a monarchy Picture Quote #1

And for well over a hundred years our politicians, statesmen, and people remembered that this was a republic, not a democracy, and knew what they meant when they made that distinction Picture Quote #1

For not only every democracy, but certainly every republic, bears within itself the seeds of its own destruction Picture Quote #1

The difference is that for a soundly conceived and solidly endowed republic it takes a great deal longer for those seeds to germinate and the plants to grow Picture Quote #1

In monarchy the crime of treason may admit of being pardoned or lightly punished, but the man who dares rebel against the laws of a republic ought to suffer death Picture Quote #1

Those who slew my father I drove into exile, punishing their deed by due process of law, and afterwards when they waged war upon the republic I twice defeated them in battle Picture Quote #1

All men of genius, and all those who have gained rank in the republic of letters, are brothers, whatever may be the land of their nativity Picture Quote #1

A republic cannot succeed till it contains a certain body of men imbued with the principles of justice and honour Picture Quote #1

Life is a republic where the individuals are for the most part unconscious that while they are working for themselves they are also working for the public good Picture Quote #1

The unquiet republic of the maze of planets, struggling fierce towards heaven’s free wilderness Picture Quote #1

A republic of philosophers, such as speculative men are fond of forming in imagination, but which was never known Picture Quote #1

His biography is written in blood and tears; uncounted millions arise and call him blessed! A redeemed and reunited republic is his monument Picture Quote #1

What greater or better gift can we offer the republic than to teach and instruct our youth? Picture Quote #1

An empire that extends itself selectively is just being prudent about its own limitations. A republic that supports democratization selectively is another matter Picture Quote #1

When I was living in the Dominican Republic, the local kids became a part of my family Picture Quote #1

Without debate, without criticism no administration and no country can succeed and no republic can survive Picture Quote #1

For some years I deserted religion in favour of Marxism. The republic of goodness seemed more attainable than the Kingdom of God Picture Quote #1

I think Chris Rock at the Oscars was a great example. I thought that was intellectually hilarious. The Gap starts a war with Banana Republic... That to me was funny Picture Quote #1

I was born in Texas and I lived there ‘till I was 8. Then I moved to the Dominican Republic with my mom, lived there for two years and forgot every word of English I knew Picture Quote #1

I would like to stress here that a lasting peace in the Chechen republic and so-called peace talks with the bandits are not the same thing, and I would ask everyone to make no mistake about that Picture Quote #1

The anger in the Brigade against those who fought the Republic in the rear was sharpened by reports of weapons, even tanks, being kept from the front and hidden for treacherous purposes Picture Quote #1
