“October 6, 1774I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.”

“If you are part of a society that votes, then do so. There may be no candidates and no measures you want to vote for ... but there are certain to be ones you want to vote against. In case of doubt, vote against. By this rule you will rarely go wrong.”

“THERE'S NO MONKEY BUSINESS ABOUT THIS ELECTION,' he told the voters. 'IF YOU'RE ENOUGH OF AN ASSHOLE TO VOTE FOR NIXON, YOUR DUMB VOTE WILL BE COUNTED––JUST LIKE ANYBODY ELSE!”

“Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything.”

“I hope that no American will waste his franchise and throw away his vote by voting either for me or against me solely on account of my religious affiliation. It is not relevant.”

“Those who stay away from the election think that one vote will do no good. 'Tis but one step more to think one vote will do no harm.”

“Elections are won by men and women chiefly because most people vote against somebody rather than for somebody.”
