Text Quotes
In baseball, democracy shines its clearest. The only race that matters is the race to the bag. The creed is the rule book. And color, merely something to distinguish one team’s uniform from another’s  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy must be built through open societies that share information. When there is information, there is enlightenment. When there is debate, there are solutions. When there is no sharing of power, no rule of law, no accountability, there is abuse, corruption, subjugation and indignation  (Democracy Quotes) Social democracy does not represent an ideal future; it does not even represent the ideal past  (Democracy Quotes) The bedrock of our democracy is the rule of law and that means we have to have an independent judiciary, judges who can make decisions independent of the political winds that are blowing  (Democracy Quotes) Change comes with both fear and some pain. Those two ingredients create mistrust, misunderstanding and misinformation. Such is the process of democracy  (Democracy Quotes) It is never smart, even in a strong democracy, to declare some debate off limits. In a weakening democracy it is catastrophic  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy isn’t solely about polite conversations in parliaments. It needs to be continually refreshed with raw passions, anger and ideals  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is not just voting for your leaders; it’s really premised upon ordinary citizens understanding the issues  (Democracy Quotes) My people are going to learn the principles of democracy, the dictates of truth and the teachings of science. Superstition must go  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is not just the right to vote, it is the right to live in dignity  (Democracy Quotes) This is the permanent tension that lies at the heart of a capitalist democracy and is exacerbated in times of crisis. In order to ensure the survival of the richest, it is democracy that has to be heavily regulated rather than capitalism  (Democracy Quotes) Look at the orators in our republics; as long as they are poor, both state and people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public funds, they conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people and attack the democracy  (Democracy Quotes) I lived in countries that had no democracy... so I don’t find myself in the same luxury as you do. You grew up in freedom, and you can spit on freedom because you don’t know what it is not to have freedom  (Democracy Quotes) A desire for privacy does not imply shameful secrets; Moglen argues, again and again, that without anonymity in discourse, free speech is impossible, and hence also democracy. The right to speak the truth to power does not shield the speaker from the consequences of doing so; only comparable power or anonymity can do that  (Democracy Quotes) I see little hope for democracy as an effective form of government, but I admire the poetry of how it makes its victims complicit in their own destruction  (Democracy Quotes) The public is not cognizant of the real value of education, and does not realize that education as a social force is not receiving the kind of attention it has the right to expect in a democracy  (Democracy Quotes) America has never been a pure democracy and majoritarianism has always been as much feared as monarchism  (Democracy Quotes) We intend to lead a government of purpose and direction so that we can offer the people of this nation the opportunity to move forward to independence, democracy and equality  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is not something you believe in or a place to hang your hat, but it’s something you do. You participate. If you stop doing it, democracy crumbles  (Democracy Quotes) A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until a majority of voters discover that they can vote themselves largess out of the public treasury  (Democracy Quotes) The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy; the best weapon of a democracy is openness  (Democracy Quotes) As long as the differences and diversities of mankind exist, democracy must allow for compromise, for accommodation, and for the recognition of differences  (Democracy Quotes) A constitutional state is like daily bread, like water to drink and air to breath, and the best thing about democracy is that it is the only system capable of securing the constitutional state  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy cannot be forced upon a society, neither is it a gift that can be held forever. It has to be struggled hard for and defended everyday anew  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy feeds on argument, on the discussion as to the right way forward. This is the reason why respecting the opinion of others belongs to democracy  (Democracy Quotes) We are sitting on a cornucopia of knowing that we had no way to access as a democracy. We couldn’t get the democratization of the human capacity before our time  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy divides people into workers and loafers. It makes no provision for those who have no time to work  (Democracy Quotes) If the test of patriotism comes only by reflexively falling into lockstep behind the leader whenever the flag is waved, then what we have is a formula for dictatorship, not democracy  (Democracy Quotes) Peace cannot exist without justice, justice cannot exist without fairness, fairness cannot exist without development, development cannot exist without democracy, democracy cannot exist without respect for the identity and worth of cultures and peoples  (Democracy Quotes) The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of great political importance. The growth of democracy; the growth of corporate power; and the growth of corporate propaganda against democracy  (Democracy Quotes)
