voice Voice of America an official US radio station founded in 1942, operated by the Board for International Broadcasting, that broadcasts around the world in English and other languages.
the voice of the people is the voice of God proverbial saying, early 15th century; English version of the Latin
vox populi, vox dei. The Latin saying was cited by the Anglo-Saxon scholar and theologian Alcuin (
c.735–804), ‘
Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit [And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God, since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness].’
The American Union general William Tecumsah Sherman (1820–91) took a similarly sceptical view in a letter to his wife, 2 June 1863, ‘
Vox populi, vox humbug’.
