Text Quotes
...the first step in the revolution by the working class, is to raise the proletariat to the position of ruling class, to win the battle for democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) The House Rules Committee is perhaps the free world’s outstanding bureaucratic abomination - a tiny, airless closet deep in the labyrinth of the Capitol where some of the very meanest people on earth spend their days cleaning democracy like a fish.  (Democracy Quotes) Back then, before it became clear that democracy was best served by a drunken electorate, the bars in New York City were required to close on Election Day.  (Democracy Quotes) In order to solve the climate crisis, we need to solve the democracy crisis  (Democracy Quotes) Indeed, when all parties campaign effectively the overall effect is to push up voting rates, as you see in tight marginal seats or close general elections. That must be good for democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) Israelis can be proud of the vibrant democracy that they have created, and I know that many Rhode Islanders share my deep appreciation for the close friendship between our two nations.  (Democracy Quotes) The legitimacy of coercive acts in a democracy arises from the process by which they are justified and by the degree to which we regard decisions as rational. If the justifications proceed properly, through recognized public institutions, and if they make sense to us, they are legitimate.  (Democracy Quotes) The Philippines and the U.S. have had a strong relationship with each other for a very long time now. We have a shared history. We have shared values, democracy, freedom, and we have been in all the wars together in modern history, the World War, Second World War, Cold War, Vietnam, Korea, now the war on terrorism.  (Democracy Quotes) Experience shows us that most people’s votes are based on their biases, not on objective reality. Elections are a collective gut reaction. That any good comes of it at all is the miracle of democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) Don’t ever dare to take your college as a matter of course - because, like democracy and freedom, many people you’ll never know have broken their hearts to get it for you.  (Democracy Quotes) In a democracy, we have always had to worry about the ignorance of the uneducated. Today we have to worry about the ignorance of people with college degrees.  (Democracy Quotes) Americans, the eyes of the world are upon you. How can you expect the world to believe in you and respect your preaching of democracy when you yourself treat your colored brothers as you do?  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is never a thing done. Democracy is always something that a nation must be doing. What is necessary now is one thing and one thing only that democracy become again democracy in action, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold.  (Democracy Quotes) What are the American ideals? They are the development of the individual for his own and the common good; the development of the individual through liberty; and the attainment of the common good through democracy and social justice.  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is interactive... It’s a constant job of information, education, explanation, listening, and interactive communication.  (Democracy Quotes) In this world which is losing faith in so called representative democracy, there are new developments in participatory democracy. These are very interesting developments, reflecting the revitalization of community power with a more and more active presence of minorities in political life, including the presence of women who are of course by no means a minority.  (Democracy Quotes) I’d like people to be educated on the voting machines, making sure that our democracy isn’t being hijacked by computer technology. There’s no reason there can’t be a paper trail on those machines.  (Democracy Quotes) Many people suggest using mathematics to talk to the aliens, and Dutch computer scientist Alexander Ollongren has developed an entire language (Lincos) based on this idea. But my personal opinion is that mathematics may be a hard way to describe ideas like love or democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) Good and just society is neither the thesis of capitalism nor the antithesis of communism, but a socially conscious democracy which reconciles the truths of individualism and collectivism.  (Democracy Quotes) As a form of government, imperialism does not seek or require the consent of the governed. It is a pure form of tyranny. The American attempt to combine domestic democracy with such tyrannical control over foreigners is hopelessly contradictory and hypocritical. A country can be democratic or it can be imperialistic, but it cannot be both.  (Democracy Quotes) Judicial review has been a part of our democracy in this constitutional government for over 200 years.  (Democracy Quotes) The perversions are as follows: of royalty, tyranny; of aristocracy, oligarchy; of constitutional government, democracy.  (Democracy Quotes) Constitutional democracy has created astonishing and apparently irreversible social progress. All we’re interested in is talking about when government doesn’t work.  (Democracy Quotes) I don’t like the current political system in the USA and some other countries. Increasingly, democracy has been hijacked by corporate interests.  (Democracy Quotes) Democracy is one person, one vote and a full discussion of the issues that affect us. Oligarchy is billionaires buying elections, voter suppression and a concentrated corporate media determining what we see, hear and read.  (Democracy Quotes) It’s time to use the antitrust laws and to break up this conglomerate corporate media that has now poisoned our democracy to the point that our very survival is at risk for the kinds of monstrosities that are flourishing in our corporate media dominated discussion.  (Democracy Quotes) America’s corporate and political elites now form a regime of their own and they’re privatizing democracy. All the benefits - the tax cuts, policies and rewards flow in one direction: up.  (Democracy Quotes) In any country, governance issues are there. Challenges are there, pressures are there. When multi-party coalitions take decisions, sometimes delays will be there. But that is what democracy is: it is beauty or it’s challenge.  (Democracy Quotes) Just the concept of personal freedom within a democracy, for instance, is a relatively young idea - only about 300 years old in this country.  (Democracy Quotes) You don’t help a country by supporting a military regime that denies any sign of democracy, and what defeated Pakistan was its military regime.  (Democracy Quotes)
