It is no accident that the rise of so many democracies took place in a time when the world’s most influential nation was itself a democracy  (Democracies Quotes) The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity, since the tastes, knowledge, and principles of the majority form the tribunal of appeal  (Democracies Quotes) Perhaps the best known, and certainly the most vaunted, discovery of modern public opinion research is the indifference and ignorance of a majority of the electorate in western democracies  (Democracies Quotes) America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections  (Democracies Quotes) We should encourage governments to be sustained by citizens’ taxes - that is, democracies. Democracies will be enduring allies of America  (Democracies Quotes) America is an outlier in the world of democracies when it comes to the structure and conduct of elections.  (Democracies Quotes) Governments, whether they’re dictatorships or democracies, reflect the people. When the people get fed up, they throw them out.  (Democracies Quotes) Democracies die behind closed doors. . . . When government begins closing doors, it selectively controls information rightfully belonging to the people. Selective information is misinformation.  (Democracies Quotes) The three main sources of scepticism are first, that not every people desires freedom; second, that democracy in certain parts of the world would be dangerous; and third, that there is little the world’s democracies can do to advance freedom outside their countries.  (Democracies Quotes) The United States is unusual among the industrial democracies in the rigidity of the system of ideological control - ‘indoctrination’, we might say - exercised through the mass media.  (Democracies Quotes) It would appear that the traditional parliamentary democracies can offer no fundamental opposition to that automatism of technological civilization and the industrial-consumer society, for they too are being dragged helplessly along by it. People are manipulated in ways that are infinitely more subtle and refined than the brutal methods used in post-totalitarian societies.  (Democracies Quotes) I believe that the Tibetans should have the right to control their own destinies and decide for themselves whether they want to be part of China or not. But this view isn’t shared by most Chinese, or even the leaders of most Western democracies. As long as the Communist Party is in power, there is little hope for Tibet.  (Democracies Quotes) Our great democracies still tend to think that a stupid man is more likely to be honest than a clever man.  (Democracies Quotes) Google has withdrawn from China, arguing that it is no longer willing to design its search engine to block information that the Chinese government does not wish its citizens to have. In liberal democracies around the world, this decision has generally been greeted with enthusiasm.  (Democracies Quotes) To balance China, the democracies will need new friends - and India with its fast-growing economy, youthful population, and democratic politics seems the obvious candidate.  (Democracies Quotes) It is often noted that it can be hard for democracies to fight wars because of changing public opinion.  (Democracies Quotes) Flawed as they may be, science and the secular Enlightenment values expressed in Western democracies are our best hope for survival.  (Democracies Quotes) Flawed as they may be, science and the secular Enlightenment values expressed in Western democracies are our best hope for survival  (Democracies Quotes) There are ways to pursue political change. In a democracy, it’s through the ballot box. There are other ways, and many democracies have many different systems of democracy.  (Democracies Quotes) There are many democracies in our Arab and Islamic countries, but unfortunately, they are all false democracies.  (Democracies Quotes) Democracies have been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their death  (Democracies Quotes) I’ve often thought that the gauntlet of American politics is more individualistic, more expensive, more unpredictable than in many other democracies.  (Democracies Quotes) We should encourage governments to be sustained by citizens’ taxes - that is, democracies. Democracies will be enduring allies of America.  (Democracies Quotes) There is no society that protects freedom of religion more than secular democracies, because in societies where one religion rules, different viewpoints will be labelled as heresy and blasphemy. Why? Because the society is built on religion - not freedom for all points of view  (Democracies Quotes) It is a law of governance that democracies have to spend themselves dizzy. Citizens of democracies can, after all, tell their government to give them things  (Democracies Quotes) Political stability was at most a factor in assessing developing countries or Russia. It is now also an issue in Western democracies.  (Democracies Quotes) You can’t have an industrial revolution, you can’t have democracies, you can’t have populations who can govern themselves until you have literacy. The printing press simply unlocked literacy  (Democracies Quotes) Democracies die behind closed doors... When government begins closing doors, it selectively controls information rightfully belonging to the people. Selective information is misinformation  (Democracies Quotes) It is intolerable that around 1 in 5 of the world’s adults are illiterate. How can we build equitable information societies or thriving democracies if so many remain without the basic tools of literacy?  (Democracies Quotes) Democracies succeed or fail based on their journalism. America is strong because its journalism is strong. That is how democracies work. They’re only as good as the quality of the information that the public possesses and that is where we come in  (Democracies Quotes)
