Democracy is the most demanding of all forms of government in terms of the energy, imagination, and public spirit required of the individual.
George C. Marshall
Image
[We should beware] that our democracy stays healthy. And making sure that we maintain that sense of solidarity.
Barack Obama
Image
Don't ever dare to take your college as a matter of course - because, like democracy and freedom, many people you'll never know have broken their hearts to get it for you.
Alice Miller
Image
I've written a book entitled 'Islam: the Challenges of Democracy,' because it is a challenge. It requires careful interpretation of the Islamic tradition and Islamic theology, and there's a lot in there that would support democratic ideals.
Khaled Abou El Fadl
Image
Nobody black or white who really believes in democracy can stand aside now everybody's got to stand up and be counted.
Lena Horne
Image
I've not much faith in the future of the planet and I'm not just thinking about Mr. Bush or global warming. I feel that we've lost our way and it looks as if, in so many fields, things are turning sour. Even democracy is turning sour, isn't it?
Colin Dexter
Image
Democracy has no convictions for which people would be willing to stake their lives.
Ernst Hanfstaengl
Image
Economic policies command bipartisan support only when they're incoherent.
Steven Landsburg

I think this an outrage and I think the fact that the KGB is involved in this election [2016] is an outrage and I think the American people ought to take their democracy back regardless of what the press wants to do and the excuses they want to make for [James] Comey. That's what I think.
James Carville
Image
Rosa Luxemburg was - still is for me - a great personal and intellectual heroine. Her analysis of Leninism and capitalism and social democracy are all worth reading. I wouldn't consider anyone truly politically literate if they hadn't given her work at least some study.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
I always believe that ultimately, if people are paying attention, then we get good government and good leadership. And when we get lazy, as a democracy and civically start taking shortcuts, then it results in bad government and politics.
Barack Obama
Image
If the test of patriotism comes only by reflexively falling into lockstep behind the leader whenever the flag is waved, then what we have is a formula for dictatorship, not democracy.
Michael Pare
Image
The problem with the West is that they start with political reform going towards democracy.
Bashar al-Assad
Image
You do not keep American democracy in suspense. Because, look, too many people have marched and protested and fought and died for this democracy.
Michelle Obama
Image
Collective freedom is one devoid of material bondage and one that supports the institutions necessary for democracy.
Henry Giroux
Image
Because the rich are generally few in number, while the poor are many, they appear to be antagonistic, and as the one or the other prevails they form the government. Hence arises the common opinion that there are two kinds of government - democracy and oligarchy.
Aristotle
Image
We tie ourselves in knots when we act as if democracy is good for the United States and Israel but not for the Arab world. For far too long, we've treated the Arab world as just an oil field.
Nicholas D. Kristof
Image
The trouble in modern democracy is that men do not approach to leadership until they have lost the desire to lead anyone.
William Beveridge
Image
What we are doing in fact is recovering and progressing and sustaining the recovery of our democracy.
Alberto Fujimori
Image
The federal government and our democracy is not a speedboat. It's an oceanliner, as I discovered when I came into office. It took a lot of really hard work for us to make significant policy changes, even in our first two years, when we had larger majorities than Mr. Trump will enjoy when he comes into office.
Barack Obama
Image
To have compromise you must first have dialog. That is the true path of democracy.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
At the end of the day, you have to be yourself, you have to say and stand for what you believe in, you have to be willing to get up and go ahead and take the slings and arrows and just try to persist through them, because it's apparently an inevitable part of our American democracy.
Hillary Clinton
Image
If you put your politicians up for sale, as the US does (alone in this among industrialized democracies), then someone will buy them--and it won’t be you you can’t afford them.
Juan Cole
Image
Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards.
