I am a compromiser and maneuverer. I try to get something. That's the way our system works.
Lyndon B. Johnson

Capitalism under democracy has a further advantage: its enemies, even when it is attacked, are scattered and weak, and it is usually easily able to array one half of them against the other half, and thus dispose of both.
H. L. Mencken
Image
We must make it clear that a platform of 'I hate gay men and women' is not a way to become president of the United States.

In a democracy dissent is an act of faith. Like medicine, the test of its value is not in its taste, but in its effects.
J. William Fulbright
Image
Let's not give the electoral process so much importance. We have to be cynical about it. Let's give importance to the real democracy that's constructed on a day-to-day basis. That's my hopeful perspective on it.
Gael Garcia Bernal
Image
The known propensity of a democracy is to licentiousness which the ambitious call, and ignorant believe to be liberty.

Image
In a democracy, the public should be asked how much security and how much privacy they want for themselves.
Max Mosley

I fully understand some people don't believe it's possible for freedom and democracy to overcome this ideology of hatred. I understand that. I just happen to believe it is possible. And I believe it will happen.
George W. Bush
