Just as a royal rule, if not a mere name, must exist by virtue of some great personal superiority in the king, so tyranny, which is the worst of governments, is necessarily the farthest removed from a well-constituted form; oligarchy is little better, for it is a long way from aristocracy, and democracy is the most tolerable of the three Picture Quote #1

Democracy shows not only its power in reforming governments, but in regenerating a race of men and this is the greatest blessing of free governments Picture Quote #1
