Text Quotes
In a democracy one must have the right to express oneself and that’s what I do, even if it displeases.  (Democracy Quotes) India is a functioning democracy - despite its extreme poverty, India has stayed the course  (Democracy Quotes) The true friend of the people should see that they be not too poor, for extreme poverty lowers the character of the democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) Public confidence in the integrity of the Government is indispensable to faith in democracy; and when we lose faith in the system, we have lost faith in everything we fight and spend for.  (Democracy Quotes) Where freedom of religion has been attacked, the attack has come from sources opposed to democracy. Where democracy has been overthrown, the spirit of free worship has disappeared. And where religion and democracy have vanished, good faith and reason in international affairs have given way to strident ambition and brute force.  (Democracy Quotes) One of the achievements of the reform movement is that people realize that they can be democrats and remain faithful Muslims. Democracy is now an established idea.  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy allows rhetoric, false empathy and emotion to pummel rational thinking - so it’s no wonder so many politicians thrive in it.  (Democracy Quotes) The practice of democracy means that I, one person, one humble person, nevertheless feel some responsibility if the officials for whose election I was responsible go too far out of line.  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is not what we hate the most and what we fear the most. We need to stand up.  (Democracy Quotes) Persuade your fellow citizens it’s a good idea and pass a law. That’s what democracy is all about. It’s not about nine superannuated judges who have been there too long, imposing these demands on society.  (Democracy Quotes) So yes in theory there is a kind of a formal democracy and in many ways these were achievements and an improvement over the feudal system and more advanced than anything else in the world, but nothing that we ought to call democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) Our democracy is not something to be taken for granted. You have to fight for it. You have to commit yourself to working for it - for the long haul.  (Democracy Quotes) If fighting for the legislatures meant a sacrifice of truth and nonviolence, democracy would not be worth a moment’s purchase.  (Democracy Quotes) Without the truth of the people, politics degenerates into mere spectacle and democracy declines, leaving demagoguery and cynicism to fill the void.  (Democracy Quotes) Ethics must be reintroduced to public service to restore people’s faith in government. Without such faith, democracy cannot flourish. Your ambitious agenda is filling a desperate need.  (Democracy Quotes) Let us not be defeated by the tyranny of the world financial markets that threaten peace and democracy everywhere.  (Democracy Quotes) For democracy is a method of finding proximate solutions for insoluble problems  (Democracy Quotes) I am a firm believer in the importance of democracy, not only as the ultimate goal, but also as an essential part of the process.  (Democracy Quotes) We have a First Amendment for good reasons. We need a free press because without an educated electorate we cannot have a functioning democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) My first allegiance is not to a flag, a country, or a man...not to democracy, or blood; it’s to a King and a Kingdom  (Democracy Quotes) America’s objective in the Middle East is to create democracy in the same way that my goal on a first date to feed women.  (Democracy Quotes) The fact that we’ve been a great democracy doesn’t mean we will automatically keep being one if we keep waving the flag.  (Democracy Quotes) Social democracy... is only the advance guard of the proletariat, a small piece of the total working masses; blood from their blood, and flesh from their flesh.  (Democracy Quotes) Yes, there is a crisis of hunger on the planet, but hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but a scarcity of democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) I had the realization that hunger is not caused by scarcity of food, it is caused by the production system and an absence of democracy throughout the world.  (Democracy Quotes) The issue is: $1 trillion or $2 trillion is a lot of money. If our objective is to have stability in the Middle East, secure oil, or extend democracy, you can do a lot of democracy buying for this sum. To put it in context: The whole world spends $50 billion a year on foreign aid.  (Democracy Quotes) I can’t talk about foreign policy like anyone who’s spent their life reading and learning foreign policy. But as a citizen in a democracy, it’s very important that I participate in that.  (Democracy Quotes) In the many forms of government which have sprung up there has always been an acknowledgement of justice and proportionate equality, although mankind fail in attaining them, as indeed I have already explained. Democracy, for example, arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.  (Democracy Quotes) A democracy is ... accounted the meanest and worst of all forms of government.  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is the most demanding of all forms of government in terms of the energy, imagination, and public spirit required of the individual.  (Democracy Quotes)
