Nobody can ever make enough money for as many poor relatives as I’ve got. Somebody’s got a sick kid, or somebody needs an operation, somebody ain’t got this, somebody ain’t got that. Or to give the kids all a car when they graduate.
Dolly PartonI don’t think generally politician come from democratic country. I think not that thinking. But sometimes little bit short-sighted. They are mainly looking for their next vote.
Dalai LamaI guess you’d call me an independent, since I’ve never identified myself with one party or another in politics. I always decide my vote by taking as careful a look as I can at the actual candidates and issues themselves, no matter what the party label.
Jackie RobinsonDo all children have some inherent right to live in America if they have done nothing wrong? If not, then why should the children of illegal immigrants have such a right?
Thomas SowellElections aren’t just about who votes but who doesn’t vote.
Michelle ObamaI’m glad I can’t vote.
Kevin GatesWhat troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law.
Kurt VonnegutThe government is us; we are the government, you and I.
Theodore RooseveltIf everybody that voted in 2008 shows up in 2010, we will win this election. We will win this election.
Barack ObamaOur friends at the Republican convention were more than happy to talk about everything they think is wrong with America, but they didn’t have much to say about how they’d make it right. They want your vote, but they don’t want you to know their plan.
Barack ObamaTo all general purposes we have uniformly been one people, each individual citizen everywhere enjoying the same national rights, privileges, and protection.
Alexander HamiltonTo give victory to the right, not bloody bullets, but peaceful ballots only, are necessary.
Abraham LincolnWe thought we were running away from the grownups, and now we are the grownups.
Margaret AtwoodThere are too many people that depend on me. I’m too obligated. I’m in too far to get out.
Elvis PresleyIf you know how to read, you have a complete education about life, then you know how to vote within a democracy. But if you don’t know how to read, you don’t know how to decide. That’s the great thing about our country – we’re a democracy of readers, and we should keep it that way.
Ray BradburyAny other woman who has to go to work and pick up the kids and make dinner – that’s way harder than what I have to do.
Beyonce KnowlesToo many people treat parenting like it’s the 20th item on their to-do list.
John KennedyAre you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in the desert.
Khalil GibranI know I’m talented, but I wasn’t put here to sing. I was put here to be a wife and a mom and look after my family. I love what I do, but it’s not where it begins and ends.
Amy WinehousePeople who bowl vote. Bowlers are not the cultural elite.
Dan QuayleThe government’s job is good governance for everybody. My government will make policies; if you fit into it, come on board, or stay where you are. My job is not to spoon-feed anyone.
Narendra ModiThe difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don’t have to waste your time voting.
Charles BukowskiAs you get older, you have more responsibilities; you have more commitments, more events, kids, you’re married now. You still have all the things that you’ve had, plus you just keep adding.

Theodore RooseveltJack was out kissing babies while I was out passing bills. Someone had to tend the store.
Lyndon B. JohnsonNo country can really develop unless its citizens are educated.
Nelson MandelaWe don’t want two-tier people in America. Those who are legal but not citizens, and citizens.
Joe BidenI don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for themselves.
Henry KissingerDemocracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
Franklin D. RooseveltPolitics ought to be the part-time profession of every citizen who would protect the rights and privileges of free people and who would preserve what is good and fruitful in our national heritage.
Dwight D. EisenhowerI have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.
Maya AngelouLocally, I’ll vote one way and nationally, maybe another.
Billy GrahamRemember, it is not about voting for the perfect candidate – there is no such thing. Presidents are human.
Michelle ObamaThe years between fifty and seventy are the hardest. You are always being asked to do things, and yet you are not decrepit enough to turn them down.
George EliotWhat the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions.
AristotleI am deeply grateful to the citizens of Sarajevo and the Sarajevo Canton assembly for bestowing upon me this incredible honor of citizenship. I am so proud to now be a part of such an extraordinary part of the world and fellow citizen to the people I deeply love and admire.
Angelina JolieA good wife is one who serves her husband in the morning like a mother does, loves him in the day like a sister does and pleases him like a prostitute in the night.
ChanakyaI told y’all I didn’t vote, right? But if I would’ve voted, I would’ve voted for Trump.
Kanye WestYou know that being an American is more than a matter of where your parents came from. It is a belief that all men are created free and equal and that everyone deserves an even break.
Harry S. TrumanYou must be afraid, my son. That is how one becomes an honest citizen.
Jean-Paul SartreI think it’s important to vote.
Vivienne WestwoodThinking isn’t agreeing or disagreeing. That’s voting.
Robert FrostWe, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense.
Barack ObamaI was too old for a paper route, too young for Social Security and too tired for an affair.
Erma BombeckAll of us take offense to anyone who reaps the rewards of living in America without taking on the responsibilities of living in America. And undocumented immigrants who desperately want to embrace those responsibilities see little option but to remain in the shadows, or risk their families being torn apart.
Barack ObamaPolitics, according to the Social Doctrine of the Church, is one of the highest forms of charity, because it serves the common good. I cannot wash my hands, eh? We all have to give something!
Pope FrancisI wanted in my lifetime to vote for a radical Native American woman, since my vision of any future that we might have is that it will be led by women and older women.
Alice WalkerAmericans want students to get the best education possible. We want schools to prepare children to become good citizens and members of a prosperous American economy.
Bill GatesI’ve never been a hands-on dad. I’m not ashamed to admit it, but you can’t run a restaurant and be home for tea at 4:30 and bath and change nappies.
Gordon RamsayHere, sir, the people govern; here they act by their immediate representatives.
Alexander HamiltonRemember, no one decides who they’re going to vote for based on the vice president. I mean that literally.
Joe BidenHe that hath wife and children hath given hostages to fortune; for they are impediments to great enterprises, either of virtue or mischief.
Francis BaconI believe with all my heart that America remains ‚the great idea‘ that inspires the world. It is a privilege to be born here. It is an honor to become a citizen here. It is a gift to raise your family here, to vote here, and to live here.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerThe first requisite of a good citizen in this republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his own weight.
Theodore RooseveltRepublicans have been accused of abandoning the poor. It’s the other way around. They never vote for us.
Dan QuayleThe right of every American to first-class citizenship is the most important issue of our time.
Jackie RobinsonAmerica is the student who defies the odds to become the first in a family to go to college – the citizen who defies the cynics and goes out there and votes – the young person who comes out of the shadows to demand the right to dream. That’s what America is about.
Barack ObamaMy fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country.
John F. KennedyWhen you single out any particular group of people for secondary citizenship status, that’s a violation of basic human rights.
Jimmy CarterSome say we should not engage in activism. Instead we should leave everything to our politicians and just vote for a change instead. But what do we do when there is no political will? What do we do when the politics needed are nowhere in sight?
Greta Thunberg
