INTERESTING QUOTES ON VOTING

Like the quote from Edmund Burke ("All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."), William E. Simon's statement (“Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.”), declares the importance of voting.  Here are a few quotes by others: 
 
“The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.”  Lyndon B. Johnson

“Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.”  John Q. Adams

"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual--or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country."  Samuel Adams

"Now more than ever the people are responsible for the character of their Congress. If that body be ignorant, reckless, and corrupt, it is because the people tolerate ignorance, recklessness, and corruption."  James Garfield

"Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation , to select and prefer Christians for their rulers."  John Jay

"If you have been voting for politicians who promise to give you goodies at someone else's expense, then you have no right to complain when they take your money and give it to someone else, including themselves."  Thomas Sowell
 
Our leaders are a perfect reflection of the character of its citizens!
