So much for Democracy when it becomes a catchword.
"The Crisis, Volume 6"
Winston Churchill
The alliteration helped to make the phrase a catchword, but the cry excited popular enthusiasm so little that at the dissolution in 1895 the country upheld the same party as the House of Lords, and returned a large Unionist majority to Parliament.
"The Government of England (Vol. I)"
A. Lawrence Lowell
It is perfectly right that the policy of the country should dictate the character and strength of the military establishment; the evil is when policy is controlled by ignorance, summed up in a mistaken but captivating catchword-"for defence only."
"Lessons of the war with Spain and other articles"
Alfred T. Mahan
