Only those who would be called upon to risk their lives for their country should have the privilege of voting to determine whether the nation should go to war.

Smedley Butler

The problem for me with liberals is that we've abdicated our moral responsibility to the universe.

Sherman Alexie

We should know who's walking into the voting booth, and I would support anything we do to make sure that our elections are secure, that it's only citizens voting.

Chris Collins

When some people ask me about voting, they would say will you support this candidate or that candidate? I say: "I will support this candidate for one minute that I am in the voting booth. At that moment I will support A versus B, but before I am going to the voting booth, and after I leave the voting booth, I am going to concentrate on organizing people and not organizing electoral campaign."

Howard Zinn

Voting is the most precious right of every citizen, and we have a moral obligation to ensure the integrity of our voting process.

But the way they phrase those things when you get to the voting booth, you don't know which way you're voting, cause it's like, "Should we not eat unbabies not on this not day?" .... So you vote no on it, and then it's on the news the next day. "Well, 74% of Americans have decided it's time to eat babies."

Christine Pelosi

Voting is the bedrock of our democracy and we have a moral responsibility to protect and expand the right to vote - for everyone.

Andy Beshear

A nation that does not read much does not know much. And a nation that does not know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box, and the voting booth. And those decisions ultimately affect the entire nation...the literate and illiterate.

Jim Trelease

Privilege is not in and of itself bad; what matters is what we do with privilege. I want to live in a world where all women have access to education, and all women can earn PhD’s, if they so desire. Privilege does not have to be negative, but we have to share our resources and take direction about how to use our privilege in ways that empower those who lack it.

bell hooks

People in the voting booth are not purely rational creatures any more than they're purely rational creatures outside the voting booth.

Michael Lewis

We must seek support in the moral values that have ensured the progress of our civilization. Honesty and hard work, responsibility and faith in our strength are bound to bring us success. There should be no place for despondency. The crisis can and must be fought by uniting our intellectual, spiritual and material resources.

Vladimir Putin

The realization of our soul has its moral and its spiritual side. The moral side represents training of unselfishness, control of desire; the spiritual side represents sympathy and love. They should be taken together and never separated. The cultivation of the merely moral side of our nature leads us to the dark region of narrowness and hardness of heart, to the intolerant arrogance of goodness; and the cultivation of the merely spiritual side of our nature leads us to a still darker region of revelry in intemperance of imagination.
