Text Quotes
To say that most of us today are purely expansive is only another way of saying that most of us continue to be more concerned with the quantity than with the quality of our democracy  (Democracy Quotes) Most people associate reading with laying on the beach. They don’t see that it’s crucial for a democracy!  (Democracy Quotes) Our constitutional liberties shall not be sacrificed in our search for greater security, for that is what our enemies and all enemies of freedom and democracy hope to achieve  (Democracy Quotes) America’s support for human rights and democracy is our noblest export to the world  (Democracy Quotes) Ignorance is an evil weed, which dictators may cultivate among their dupes, but which no democracy can afford among its citizens  (Democracy Quotes) In a constitutional democracy the moral content of law must be given by the morality of the framer or legislator, never by the morality of the judge  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner  (Democracy Quotes) Well, one of the first things is to restore the rule of law, to place the government back under the cage of law. Another thing is to stop falling for the myth of democracy  (Democracy Quotes) I have made a film about jazz that tries to look through jazz to see what it tells us about who we are as a people. I think that jazz is a spectacularly accurate model of democracy and a kind of look into our redemptive future possibilities  (Democracy Quotes) The reality is that we are hated not because of our democracy, freedoms, and generous social security system; rather, we are hated because of our involvement in foreign conflicts and quarrels that were never our concern  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn’t grow up can be vice president  (Democracy Quotes) The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board  (Democracy Quotes) Christianity, democracy, science, education, wealth, and the cumulative inheritance of a thousand years, have not preserved us from the vain repetition of history  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy may mean something more than a theoretically absolute popular government, but it assuredly cannot mean anything less  (Democracy Quotes) I am more convinced than ever that a lively two party system is essential to our democracy  (Democracy Quotes) It’s a democracy and if I am outvoted, I have to accept the majority decisions  (Democracy Quotes) Small use it will be to save democracy for the race if we cannot save the race for democracy  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy forever teases us with the contrast between its ideals and its realities, between its heroic possibilities and its sorry achievements  (Democracy Quotes) Terror is only justice: prompt, severe and inflexible; it is then an emanation of virtue; it is less a distinct principle than a natural consequence of the general principle of democracy, applied to the most pressing wants of the country  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy can only spring from practising it early, and democratic action was not to expected from young people brought up under a close authoritarian system  (Democracy Quotes) Who is against democracy? Is it the one who calls for peaceful resistance, or the one who bombs people, sheds their blood and leads them away from the leaders under feeble and dirty pretexts?  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is the only system capable of reflecting the humanist premise of equilibrium or balance. The key to its secret is the involvement of the citizen  (Democracy Quotes) If allowed to run free of the social system, capitalism will attempt to corrupt and undermine democracy, which is after all not a natural state  (Democracy Quotes) The three main sources of scepticism are first, that not every people desires freedom second, that democracy in certain parts of the world would be dangerous and third, that there is little the world’s democracies can do to advance freedom outside their countries  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy’s a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it’s no longer democracy, is it? It’s something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism  (Democracy Quotes) I have said democracy and freedom do not work too well if you are hungry, if you are starving  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy doesn’t recognize east or west; democracy is simply people’s will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself  (Democracy Quotes) Without democracy there is no freedom. Violence, no matter who is using it, is always reactionary  (Democracy Quotes) The advanced levels which the democratic world has attained at the end of lengthy processes may have created the perception in the region that democracy is a distant concept; this perception can be addressed  (Democracy Quotes) What should be targeted is a concept of organic, and not just mechanic, democracy that preserves the rule of law, separation of powers, and that is participatory and pluralistic  (Democracy Quotes)
