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
The road to democracy may be winding and is like a river taking many curves, but eventually the river will reach the ocean.
Chen Shui-bian
Image
That's why I call the Senate the graveyard of democracy, because even when you have 58 senators, they can block it and block it and block it.
Ralph Nader
Image
One of the necessary accompaniments of capitalism in a democracy is political corruption.
Upton Sinclair
Image
Democracy needs to start with an open Presidential debate. So come on out and let's take back the promise of our democracy.
Jill Stein
Image
Planetary democracy does not yet exist but our global civilization is already preparing a place for it. It is the very Earth we inhabit linked with Heaven above us. Only in this setting can the mutuality and the commonality of the human race be newly created with reverence and gratitude for that which transcends each of us and all of us together.
Vaclav Havel
Image
The largest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity, is no longer socialism. It is, instead, the ambitious, arrogant, unscrupulous ideology of environmentalism.
Vaclav Klaus
Image
You cannot have democratic accountability in anything bigger than a nation state.
Vaclav Klaus
Image
As someone who lived under communism for most of my life I feel obliged to say that the biggest threat to freedom, democracy, the market economy and prosperity at the beginning of the 21st century is not communism or its various softer variants. Communism was replaced by the threat of ambitious environmentalism.
Vaclav Klaus
Image
What good is democracy if you can't get what you want?
Drew Carey

What's happened recently in Pakistan, India and Kuwait only goes to show that it's futile to imitate Western democracy. They've ended up exactly where they started.
Mohammed Reza Pahlavi
Image
We must occupy the food system to create food democracy.
Vandana Shiva
Image
In the seed and the soil, we find the answers to every one of the crises we face. The crises of violence and war. The crises of hunger and disease. The crisis of the destruction of democracy.
Vandana Shiva
Image
The globalisation of information makes people aware of what they have - and have not. Problems and oppression are impossible to hide, and the new and powerful tools of information provide us with more opportunities than ever to react and act.
Anna Lindh
Image
Yes, there is a crisis of hunger on the planet, but hunger is not caused by a scarcity of food but a scarcity of democracy.
Anna Lappe
Image
One of my greatest sources of pride as president of the New York Public Library is the continuance of the library's open, free, and democratic posture, the fact that we are here for Everyman, that we are indeed Everyman's university, the place where the scholar who is not college-affiliated can come and work and feel at home.
Vartan Gregorian

He who fox-like got his rank, Is wolf-like in his office.
Vasily Zhukovsky
Image
My definition of secularism is very clear. The sole religion of the Government is Nation First, the holy book is the Constitution.
Narendra Modi

Liberal democracy must finally become the vital element of our society.
Gustav Heinemann
Image
I note that [Benazir] Bhutto demonstrates her own deep commitment to democracy by giving herself the title chairperson for life of the Pakistan Peoples Party.
Ann Coulter

If liberals think Iraqis are genetically incapable of pulling off even the most rudimentary form of democracy, why do they believe 50 million Mexicans will magically become good Americans, imbued in the nation's history and culture, upon crossing the Rio Grande? Maybe we should dunk Iraqis in the Rio and see what happens.
Ann Coulter

Some of the reasons why Muslims would look down on America or even countries that have democracy, is because that's what they've been taught all their life. And it's not really their fault if you think about it, it's their government's fault for teaching people that America, them over there across the ocean, they're the devil.
Cristian Machado

Corporations are a good thing. But corporations should not be running our government... They have driven the American economy since its founding, and the prosperity of our country is largely dependent on the free operation of corporations. But some corporations don't want free markets, and they don't want democracy. They want profits.
Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.
Image
We still have a lot of work to do when it comes to democracy. We have political democracy but not economic democracy.
