Democracy belongs to those who exercise it.
Bill Moyers
Image
Democracy is a universal value
Amartya Sen
Image
Democracy doesn't work unless people are well informed, and I don't know that we are. People just don't have the time. Most people's daily lives are just about surviving. Most people don't have time to really study [crucial] issues.
Brad Pitt
Image
Democracy may not prove in the long run to be as efficient as other forms of government, but it has one saving grace: it allows us to know and say that it isn't.
Bill Moyers
Image
Democracy only works when we claim it as our own.
Bill Moyers
Image
Democracy is not an end in itself, but a means to achieve the sacred promises of human dignity, justice and peace.
Alfred-Maurice de Zayas
Image
Democracy is to have different ideas, even extreme ones. In democracy there is space for all of them and bridges to connect them. In Turkey we are losing those bridges, and everyone is trying to destroy spaces for the opposite side. When we look at this, Istanbul is like different courtyards divided by big, thick walls.
Burhan Sonmez
Image
Democracy acknowledges the right to differ as well as the duty to settle differences peacefully. Authoritarian governments see criticism of their actions and doctrines as a challenge to combat.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
Democracy cannot be imposed on any nation from the outside. Each society must search for its own path, and no path is perfect.
Barack Obama
Image
Democracy, like the human organism, carries within it the seed of its own destruction.
C. V. Wedgwood
Image
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.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Democracy does not create strong ties between people. But it does make living together easier.
Alexis de Tocqueville
Image
Democracy is fine in politics. It should stay there, and we need more of it. But its political virture is no reason to practice it in the garden.
Allen Lacy
Image
Democracy cannot sustain itself amid a high degree of violence.
Mary Ritter Beard
Image
Democracy is 51% of the people taking away the rights of the other 49%.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Democracy is a very bad form of government ... but all the others are so much worse.
Winston Churchill
Image
Democracy is the product of human thought and reasoning. It's true that philosophers and thinkers have always imagined a utopia in which everything is as it ought to be and the people live in freedom and comfort. But this was not achieved until recent centuries.
Simin Behbahani
Image
Democracy is the right choice and is the greatest form of government ever created.
Max Lucado
Image
Democracy is the suggestion box for slaves.
Stefan Molyneux
Image
Democracy is not an incident that happens overnight, nor a gift that America can give to the world. It is a culture which needs peace to evolve.
Shirin Ebadi
Image
Democracy will itself accomplish the salutary universal change from delusive to real, and make a new blessed world of us by and by.
Thomas Carlyle
Image
Democracy is the best form of the worst type of government
Winston Churchill
Image
democracy ... is not something that occurs overnight. It is not a gift delivered on a golden tray. Democracy is a long process of fighting, challenging accepted ideas, and perpetually striving for freedom. Like a seed that has to be watered every day to become a flower, democracy needs constant attention and care.
Shirin Ebadi
Image
Democracy is self-creating coherence.
