Text Quotes
Dishonesty in government is the business of every citizen. It is not enough to do your own job. There’s no particular gift in that. Democracy isn’t a gift. It’s a responsibility  (Democracy Quotes) Dr. King’s leadership reaffirmed the promise of our democracy: that everyday people, working together, have the power to change our government and our institutions for the better  (Democracy Quotes) I’m tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn’t work. Of course it doesn’t work. We are supposed to work it  (Democracy Quotes) In a few decades, the relationship between the environment, resources and conflict may seem almost as obvious as the connection we see today between human rights, democracy and peace  (Democracy Quotes) Inflation is bringing us true democracy. For the first time in history, luxuries and necessities are selling at the same price  (Democracy Quotes) It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship  (Democracy Quotes) My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society  (Democracy Quotes) Now the first step has to be taken, the step towards democracy. This step is full of risks, and requires trust on all sides. We don’t know where it will lead.

But I don’t give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival  (Democracy Quotes) The rights of democracy are not reserved for a select group within society, they are the rights of all the people  (Democracy Quotes) There will always be a place for us somewhere, somehow, as long as we see to it that working people fight for everything they have, everything they hope to get, for dignity, equality, democracy, to oppose war and to bring to the world a better life  (Democracy Quotes) Those religions that are oppressive to women are also against democracy, human rights, and freedom of expression  (Democracy Quotes) Trade creates jobs and lifts people out of poverty. And when that happens, societies stabilize and grow. And there is nothing like a stable society to fight terrorism and strengthen democracy, freedom and rule of law  (Democracy Quotes) We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect. Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive  (Democracy Quotes) We should seek international support for our mutual objectives abroad, in promoting freedom, democracy, respect for human rights, and also the elimination of weapons of mass destruction  (Democracy Quotes) Unfortunately, the true force which propels our endless political disputes, our constant struggles for political advantage, is often not our burning concern for democracy, it is often of our dedication to the principle of the rule of law  (Democracy Quotes) And that is my definition of democracy, the right to be in a minority and not be suppressed  (Democracy Quotes) And one of the frustrating parts, but it’s an inherent part of our democracy, is we have separation of powers  (Democracy Quotes) The first and continuing argument for the curtailment of working hours and the raising of the minimum age was that education was necessary in a democracy and working children could not attend school  (Democracy Quotes) The better the information it has, the better democracy works. Silence and secrecy are never good for it  (Democracy Quotes) Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards  (Democracy Quotes) Remember one thing about democracy. We can have anything we want and at the same time, we always end up with exactly what we deserve  (Democracy Quotes) A democracy is a volcano which conceals the fiery materials of its own destruction. These will produce an eruption and carry desolation in their way  (Democracy Quotes) I don’t have any formula for ousting a dictator or building democracy. All I can suggest is to forget about yourself and just think of your people. It’s always the people who make things happen  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy opens new vistas and opportunities. We should use the opportunities it offers to correct past mistakes not to blunder anew  (Democracy Quotes) Informed by our sad experience of history, we require nothing short of a foundation for lasting democracy  (Democracy Quotes) A democracy, the realistic observer is forced to conclude, is likely to be idealistic in its feelings about itself, but imperialistic about its practice  (Democracy Quotes)
