  • qroqqa Invariably quoted out of context as if Alcuin stated this. What he wrote was: Nec audiendi sunt qui solent docere, 'Vox populi, vox Dei', cum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima est. "Nor are those who are wont to teach 'The voice of the people is the voice of God' to be listened to, for the tumult of the common people is always next to madness." Mar 29, 2009

  • sonofgroucho As in "Vox populi, vox dei." IE "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Alcuin (735-804). Mar 29, 2009
