* 1


The Masses: "...if you hold some public post and want to do a little pilfering, we will give you the sharp claws of a hawk."


* 2


POSEIDON: Oh! democracy! whither, oh! whither are you leading us? Is it possible that the gods have chosen such an envoy?


* 3


[French Proverb] ...make the sheep electors, and they will elect the butchers.


* 4


But this is what I want to state: unanimity on any issue is not achievable in any country. However, given the manner in which every government is a product of the ballot-box, prevention of the emergence of a government would require nothing less than unanimous abstention. Because, supposing that nine out of ten million voters were to abstain, that would still leave one million voters to install a government which the nation as a whole would be required to obey. And in France there will always be at least a million individuals who will have an interest in setting up a government; which makes a nonsense of the proposition.


* 5


...different forms of government, from different hands.... arrive at the same end by different ways.


* 6


A free Republic! How a myth will maintain itself, how it will continue to deceive, to dupe, and blind even the comparatively intelligent to its monstrous absurdities. A free Republic! And yet within a little over thirty years a small band of parasites have successfully robbed the American people, and trampled upon the fundamental principles, laid down by the fathers of this country, guaranteeing to every man, woman, and child "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." For thirty years they have been increasing their wealth and power at the expense of the vast mass of workers, thereby enlarging the army of the unemployed, the hungry, homeless, and friendless portion of humanity, who are tramping the country from east to west, from north to south, in a vain search for work.


* 7


...were one to choose a period of time, when the people's consent was the least regarded in public transactions, it would be precisely on the establishment of a new government.


* 8


Only beg right along for this permission: you may wait forever for it, for there is no one in the world who could give it to you.
