Text Quotes
Democracy is not just a question of having a vote. It consists of strengthening each citizen’s possibility and capacity to participate in the deliberations involved in life in society (Democracy Quotes)
As a rule, dictatorships guarantee safe streets and terror of the doorbell. In democracy the streets may be unsafe after dark, but the most likely visitor in the early hours will be the milkman (Democracy Quotes)
Complete equality isn’t compatible with democracy, but it is a agreeable to tolitarianism. After all the only way to ensure the equality of the slothful, the inept and the immoral is to suppress everyone else (Democracy Quotes)
Democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the voters discover they can vote themselves largesse out of the public treasure. From that moment on, the majority always votes for the candidate promising the most benefit from the public treasury, with the result that democracy always collapses over a loose fiscal policy, always to be followed by a dictatorship, and then a monarchy (Democracy Quotes)
Equality before the law in a true democracy is a matter of right. It cannot be a matter of charity or of favor or of grace or of discretion (Democracy Quotes)
Working with children is the easiest part of educating for democracy, because children are still undefeated and have no stake in being prejudiced (Democracy Quotes)
The boundaries of democracy have to be widened so as to include economic equality also. This is the great revolution through which we are all passing (Democracy Quotes)
The rapidly evolving global economy demands a dynamic and creative workforce. The arts and its related businesses are responsible for billions of dollars in cultural exports for this country. It is imperative that we continue to support the arts and arts education both on the national and local levels. The strength of every democracy is measured by its commitment to the arts (Democracy Quotes)
Democracy is never a thing done. Democracy is always something that a nation must be doing (Democracy Quotes)
We live in a dirty and dangerous world. There are some things the general public does not need to know, and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows (Democracy Quotes)
Democracy has proved only that the best way to gain power over people is to assure the people that they are ruling themselves. Once they believe that, they make wonderfully submissive slaves (Democracy Quotes)
Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos (Democracy Quotes)
A country that goes out of its way to imprison the innocent has no business preaching democracy to the world (Democracy Quotes)
A son of a poor man is standing in front of you today. This is the strength of a democracy (Democracy Quotes)
The great vice of democracy is that for a generation we have been busy getting ourselves on to the list of beneficiaries and removing ourselves from the list of contributors, as if somewhere there was somebody else’s effort on which we could thrive (Democracy Quotes)
We need a more authoritative world... What’s the alternative to democracy? There isn’t one. But even the best democracies agree that when a major war approaches, democracy must be put on hold for the time being. I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while (Democracy Quotes)
The modern university does not exist to teach alone... It exists also to serve the democracy of which it is a product and an ornament... The university rests on the public will and on public appreciation (Democracy Quotes)
For us democracy is a question of human dignity. And human dignity is political freedom, the right to freely express opinion and the right to be allowed to criticise and form opinions. Human dignity is the right to health, work, education and social welfare. Human dignity is the right and the practical possibility to shape the future with others. These rights, the rights of democracy, are not reserved for a select group within society, they are the rights of all the people (Democracy Quotes)
It is impossible to build enduring institutions without solid values. For us, the fundamental value is that associated with democracy (Democracy Quotes)
From these activists we can learn a crucial lesson: without citizens creating the institutions necessary for facilitating the growth of public deliberation, democracy will be a meaningless term. Without political leaders articulating this idea and acting upon it, public life and citizenship will continue to stagnate (Democracy Quotes)
We say yes to the society of solidarity and democracy where free people together, in mutual respect and under mutual responsibility, shape a life where everyone has equal opportunities and equal value (Democracy Quotes)
It is a logical absurdity to equate democracy with freedom in the way that mainstream political philosophers and commentators typically do. A system where individuals and minorities are at the mercy of unconstrained majorities hardly constitutes freedom in any meaningful sense (Democracy Quotes)
The era of using people as production tools is coming to an end. Participation is infinitely more complex to practice than conventional corporate unilateralism, just as democracy is much more cumbersome than dictatorship. But there will be few companies that can afford to ignore either of them (Democracy Quotes)
The rules of workplace democracy are founded in solidarity and mutual trust. They are at the core of a historic process which promises to introduce a new economy, and thereby a new society, after capitalism (Democracy Quotes)
I have a feeling that climate change may be an issue as severe as a war. It may be necessary to put democracy on hold for a while (Democracy Quotes)
When women are pessimistic about their political strength and feel hopeless about changing the conditions of their lives, it is almost as if they do not believe that democracy means the country belongs to them. But it’s true (Democracy Quotes)
Of the many things we have done to democracy in the past, the worst has been the indignity of taking it for granted (Democracy Quotes)
The modern infrastructures that exists in the world all contribute to the advancement of human rights and democracy (Democracy Quotes)
Climate change now represents so urgent a threat to mankind that the only way to deal with it is by suspending democracy (Democracy Quotes)
The struggle to avert catastrophic climate change is bigger than all the other struggles, whether it is slavery, democracy struggles, the woman’s right to vote, and so on I would argue that if what is at stake is securing life as we know it, then there can be no bigger struggle that we face (Democracy Quotes)
