Text Quotes
History proves that all dictatorships, all authoritarian forms of government are transient. Only democratic systems are not transient. Whatever the shortcomings, mankind has not devised anything superior  (Democratic Government Quotes) Not only our future economic soundness but the very soundness of our democratic institutions depends on the determination of our government to give employment to idle men  (Democratic Government Quotes) Democratic elections alone do not remedy the crisis of confidence in government. Moreover, there is no viable justification for a democratic system in which public participation is limited to voting  (Democratic Government Quotes) Ensuring the access of all citizens to government information and to essential information for human development is a must for every democratic society  (Democratic Government Quotes) A world of unseen dictatorship is conceivable, still using the forms of democratic government  (Democratic Government Quotes) Criticism in a time of war is essential to the maintenance of any kind of democratic government  (Democratic Government Quotes) Personally I prefer a liberal dictator to democratic government lacking liberalism  (Democratic Government Quotes) When democratic governments create economic calamity, free markets get the blame  (Democratic Government Quotes) In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it  (Democratic Government Quotes) A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it  (Democratic Government Quotes) A democratic government that respects no limits on its power is a ticking time bomb, waiting to destroy the rights it was created to protect  (Democratic Government Quotes) The continuation of authority has frequently proved the undoing of democratic governments. Repeated elections are essential to the system of popular governments, because there is nothing so dangerous as to suffer power to be vested for a long time in one citizen. The people become accustomed to obeying him, and he becomes accustomed to commanding, hence the origin of usurpation and tyranny  (Democratic Government Quotes) Democracy is essentially a means, a utilitarian device for safeguarding internal peace and individual freedom. As such it is by no means infallible or certain. Nor must we forget that there has often been much more cultural and spiritual freedom under an autocratic rule than under some democracies and it is at least conceivable that under the government of a very homogeneous and doctrinaire majority democratic government might be as oppressive as the worst dictatorship  (Democratic Government Quotes) Authoritarianism is not pretending anymore to be a real alternative to democracy, but we can see many more authoritarian practices and styles basically being smuggled into democratic governments  (Democratic Government Quotes) When people treat corruption as a routine part of the process, you have something far worse than wrongdoing or moral failing. You have a political cancer that breeds cynicism about democratic government and infects all of society  (Democratic Government Quotes) The reason societies with democratic governments are better places to live in than their alternatives isn’t because of some goodness intrinsic to democracy, but because its hopeless inefficiency helps blunt the basic potential for evil  (Democratic Government Quotes) It is possible for a dictator to govern in a liberal way. And it is also possible for a democracy to govern with a total lack of liberalism. Personally I prefer a liberal dictator to democratic government lacking liberalism  (Democratic Government Quotes) Without commonly shared and widely entrenched moral values and obligations, neither the law, nor democratic government, nor even the market economy will function properly  (Democratic Government Quotes) To my mind, there is a solution which has to do with democracy, because democratic governments are subject to the will of the people. So, if the people will it, you can actually create international institutions through the democratic states  (Democratic Government Quotes)
