Quote the Vote

(God said...) "He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, like the tender grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain." (2 Sam 23.3b-4)

Select capable men from all the people--men who fear God, trustworthy men who hate dishonest gain--and appoint them as officials over thousands, hundreds, fifties and tens. (Exod 18.21, NIV)

Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (Ps 2.10-11)

Bad officials are elected by good citizens who do not vote. - George Jean Nathan

What luck for the rulers that men do not think. - Adolf Hitler

Yup, I feel very sad for those who put their trust only in people. That's a let down 100% of the time. Go God!
