Text Quotes
Concentration of executive power, unless it's very temporary and for specific circumstances, let's say fighting world war two, it's an assault on democracy  (Democracy Quotes) In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival  (Democracy Quotes) Religion is so frequently a source of confusion in political life, and so frequently dangerous to democracy, precisely because it introduces absolutes into the realm of relative values  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude  (Democracy Quotes) As for me, I am deeply a democrat; this is why I am in no way a socialist. Democracy and socialism cannot go together. You can't have it both ways  (Democracy Quotes) In other words, the government of the democracy is the only one under which the power which lays on taxes escapes the payment of them  (Democracy Quotes) But a democracy can only obtain truth as the result of experience, and many nations may forfeit their existence whilst they are awaiting the consequences of their errors  (Democracy Quotes) Work democracy does not wish to prevent or prohibit anything. Its only intention is the fulfilment of the biological life functions, of love, work and knowledge  (Democracy Quotes) Campaigns and elections are the process in which democracy separates the willing from the able, and goes with the willing  (Democracy Quotes) The test of a democracy is not the magnificence of buildings or the speed of automobiles or the efficiency of air transportation, but rather the care given to the welfare of all the people  (Democracy Quotes) In a democracy, citizens pass judgment on their government, and if they are kept in the dark about what their government is doing, they cannot be in a position to make well grounded decisions  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is always the work of kings. Ashes, which in themselves are sterile, fertilize the land they are cast upon  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man  (Democracy Quotes) The other day, someone told me the difference between a democracy and a people's democracy. It's the same difference between a jacket and a straitjacket  (Democracy Quotes) Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they're sinners can bring democracy the tolerance it requires to survive  (Democracy Quotes) The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy  (Democracy Quotes) The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty  (Democracy Quotes) My own ideals for the university are those of a genuine democracy and serious scholarship. These two, indeed, seem to go together  (Democracy Quotes) The commands of democracy are as imperative as its privileges and opportunities are wide and generous. Its compulsion is upon us  (Democracy Quotes) There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the Earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration  (Democracy Quotes) I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences  (Democracy Quotes) The difference between a democracy and a dictatorship is that in a democracy you vote first and take orders later; in a dictatorship you don't have to waste your time voting  (Democracy Quotes) It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few  (Democracy Quotes) What is most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class  (Democracy Quotes) The stories from Iran's present and past are reminders that freedom, democracy and human rights, or fundamentalism, fascism and terrorism are not geographically and culturally determined, but universal  (Democracy Quotes) We can't equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on Earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs  (Democracy Quotes) The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy 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) If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost  (Democracy Quotes)
