 Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.

 Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want and deserve to get it good and hard.

 Democratic man, as I have remarked, is quite unable to think of himself as a free individual; he must belong to a group, or shake with fear and loneliness - and the group, of course, must have its leaders
