Text Quotes
On one hand, it is very important that democracy and human rights be defended across borders. But it is also very important to respect the right of each country to choose its own path  (Democracy Quotes) Socialism, as I understand it, is a system of democracy. Without democracy, there is no socialism  (Democracy Quotes) The largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity, is no longer socialism. It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism  (Democracy Quotes) The task of the media in a democracy is not to ease the path of those who govern, but to make life difficult for them by constant vigilance as to how they exercise the power they only hold in trust from the people  (Democracy Quotes) A market economy is to economics what democracy is to government: a decent, if flawed, choice among many bad alternatives  (Democracy Quotes) It is democracy I am really suffering from as much as I am suffering from the opposition  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is not a mere consequence, a certain stage in the development of society. It is the condition on which the survival of productive forces depends  (Democracy Quotes) No democracy is born perfect, and none ever gets to be perfect. Yet democracy is superior to authoritarian and totalitarian regimes because, unlike them, democracy is perfectible  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy, if it meant what our forefathers said, that would be great, but unfortunately it’s been corrupted by this funding and funding of campaigns. There’s a much better way to do it. There could be a small amount of money given by every taxpayer to be dedicated to candidates  (Democracy Quotes) There is one solution to all of our problems: Teaching our kids clarity of thought and political representation in democracy. That’s it  (Democracy Quotes) I’m worried about the traditional media, but I think the new media is a plus for democracy  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is a revelation, but it’s complicated. There are elections to hold, politics to create, rights to assert, grievances to settle and institutions to build. To many, it’s exhilarating. For others, it can be disappointing when it turns out that democracy doesn’t immediately make life better  (Democracy Quotes) We must remember that democracy works when given time to develop, mature and deliver. People must have access to information for informed debate. Government institutions must treat citizens fairly, and with dignity, while responding to their needs  (Democracy Quotes) Hatred is corrosive of a person’s wisdom and conscience; the mentality of enmity can poison a nation’s spirit, instigate brutal life and death struggles, destroy a society’s tolerance and humanity, and block a nation’s progress to freedom and democracy  (Democracy Quotes) It is assumed in many parts of the world that democracy is a group of people facing a certain problem, who come together to solve it in a way where everyone has an equal say  (Democracy Quotes) China recognizes and also respects the universality of human rights. We will continue our efforts to promote democracy and the rule of law  (Democracy Quotes) I am not alone in thinking that we are at a tipping point ecologically and morally and politically. Democracy cannot survive without a vibrant middle class, yet the policies of one of the parties has been committed to wiping it out for 30 years  (Democracy Quotes) Chile has done a lot to rid itself of poverty, especially extreme poverty, since the return to democracy. But we still have a ways to go toward greater equity. This country does not have a neoliberal economic model anymore. We have put in place a lot of policies that will ensure that economic growth goes hand in hand with social justice  (Democracy Quotes) For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected  (Democracy Quotes) America’s greatest contribution to the world is its concept of democracy, its concept of freedom, freedom of action, freedom of speech, and freedom of thought  (Democracy Quotes) A democracy is a state in which the poor, gaining the upper hand, kill some and banish others, and then divide the offices among the remaining citizens equally, usually by lot  (Democracy Quotes) To include freedom in the very definition of democracy is to define a process not by its actual characteristics as a process but by its hoped for results. This is not only intellectually invalid, it is, in practical terms, blinding oneself in advance to some of the unwanted consequences of the process  (Democracy Quotes) In democracy, as quaintly understood, voters pick their representatives. American democracy increasingly reverses that. Legislative districts are drawn to protect incumbents who, effectively, pick their voters  (Democracy Quotes) I think the advantage of democracy is that it makes us less dependent on a group of leaders  (Democracy Quotes) I think there is a heritage which I’m proud of, which is a fight for democracy, a fight for social justice, a fight for freedom. My grandfather went to jail or exile six times in his life, fighting for his principles for democracy, or for his country. And my father twice  (Democracy Quotes) Industrial capitalism brought representative democracy, but with a weak public mandate and inert citizenry. The digital age offers a new democracy based on public deliberation and active citizenship  (Democracy Quotes) It is truly difficult to make a democracy. Democracy, like arty dream, is not made with spiritual words but with reflection and practice. It is not what I say that says I am a democrat, that I am not racist or machista but what I do. What I say must not be contradicted by what I do. It is what I do that bespeaks my faithfulness or not to what I say  (Democracy Quotes) No one can learn tolerance in a climate of irresponsibility, which does not produce democracy. The act of tolerating requires a climate in which limits may be established, in which there are principles to be respected. That is why tolerance is not coexistence with the intolerable. Under an authoritarian regime, in which authority is abused, or a permissive one, in which freedom is not limited, one can hardly learn tolerance. Tolerance requires respect, discipline, and ethics  (Democracy Quotes) One cannot have a trade union or a democratic election without freedom of speech, freedom of association and assembly. Without a democratic election, whereby people choose and remove their rulers, there is no method of securing human rights against the state. No democracy without human rights, no human rights without democracy, and no trade union rights without either. That is our belief; that is our creed  (Democracy Quotes) A government by the passions of the multitude, or, no less correctly, according to the vices, and ambitions of their leaders is a democracy  (Democracy Quotes)
