Politics

Politics (from Greek: πολιτικά, translit. Politiká, meaning "affairs of the cities") is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group.

Wikipedia

Politics

A weapon that comes down as still
As snowflakes fall upon the sod;
But executes a freeman's will,
As lightning does the will of God;
And from its force, nor doors nor locks
Can shield you; 'tis the ballot-box.

John Pierpont, A Word from a Petitioner.

Politics

Despite the intentions of human politics, history has shown that it is often the one, not the many, who have led the world towards its destiny... now turn your eyes to Earth once more and tell me what you see.

Uatu, Earth X, ch. 3, written by Jim Krueger and Alex Ross

Wikiquote

Politics

I can't help feeling wary when I hear anything said about the masses. First you take their faces from 'em by calling 'em the masses and then you accuse 'em of not having any faces.

J. B. Priestley in Saturn Over the Water (1961) ch. 2.
