Democracy quotes
" Democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts and murders itself. There was never a democracy that did not commit suicide. "

John Adams
" Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking. "

Clement Atlee
" Democracy means that anyone can grow up to be president, and anyone who doesn't grow up can be vice president. "

Johnny Carson
" Democracy doesn't recognize east or west; democracy is simply people's will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself. "

Shirin Ebadi
" Democracy derailed is democracy denied. "

Chaka Fattah
" Democracy no longer works for the poor if politicians treat them as a separate race. "

Frank Field
" Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business. "

Malcolm Forbes
" Democracy is based upon the conviction that there are extraordinary possibilities in ordinary people. "

Harry Emerson Fosdick
" Democracy survives not only because people vote, but because most citizens (including most especially well-educated elites) really do believe in the values that undergird it. "

Maggie Gallagher
" Democracy! Bah! When I hear that I reach for my feather boa! "

Allen Ginsberg
" Democracy is the wholesome and pure air without which a socialist public organization cannot live a full-blooded life. "

Mikhail Gorbachev
" Democracy must learn to defend itself. "

Mikhail Gorbachev
" Democracy fascinates me. "

Lee H Hamilton
" Democracy is hard work. It has been achieved for us and given to us. It takes the rule of the majority and the rights of the minority. It requires deliberation, consulting, consensus-building, and accommodating different points of view in a nation of extraordinary diversity, size, and complexity. "

Lee H Hamilton
" Democracy makes us articulate our views, defend them, and refine them. "

Lee H Hamilton
