I noticed that democracy was broken and tried to work on fixing that in Japan. Then I realized that it was broken all over the place and decided to work on that too.
Joichi Ito
Image
In a government bottomed on the will of all, the... liberty of every individual citizen becomes interesting to all.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Taking away a person's control of her own life - meaning her bank account - is one of the greatest infringements a democracy can impose, especially when it applies to young people. It is an infringement even if the intent may be perceived as benign and socially valid.
Steig Larsson
Image
We are living through an epochal shift. If we aren't careful, the elementary foundations of our pluralistic democracy will be threatened.
Martin Schulz
Image
David McKnight gives us the tools to work out where we stand - and what unites rather than divides us - as the struggle to defend our democracy begins in earnest
Margo Kingston
Image
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
Niccolo Machiavelli

Iran is a country that talks about, denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world. This is a regime that is giving vent to the worst impulses that you see right now in the Middle East. They deny the rights of women, deny democracy, brutalize their own people, don't give freedom of religion.
Benjamin Netanyahu
Image
Democracy is perhaps the most promiscuous word in the world of public affairs.
Bernard Crick
Image
I believe that without free enterprise there can be no democracy.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Image
The practice of democracy means that I, one person, one humble person, nevertheless feel some responsibility if the officials for whose election I was responsible go too far out of line.
Clyde Kluckhohn

Our democracy poses problems and these problems must and shall be solved by courageous leadership.
Charles Edison
Image
If someone is calling for democracy, he is calling for an end of a dictatorship and if this is the will of the people, this could also mean overthrowing the regime.
Zainab al-Khawaja
Image
I take the debate on the method of promoting democracy seriously
Recep Tayyip Erdogan
Image
As the largest and most developed democracies of Asia (India and Japan), we have a mutual stake in each other's progress and prosperity.
Manmohan Singh
Image
I think the very concept of an elite commission deciding for the American people who deserves to be heard is profoundly wrong.
Newt Gingrich
Image
There are two clocks ticking in Iran. One is the democracy movement clock which is ticking now faster than it was but it's got a lot of catching up to do. And then there's the clock that's ticking towards a nuclear weaponry.
Christopher Hitchens
Image
There is not such a cradle of democracy upon the earth as the Free Public Library, this republic of letters, where neither rank, office, nor wealth receives the slightest consideration.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
I do believe that what I have called populist democracy is to be preferred to what I have called elitist democracy.
Torbjorn Tannsjo
Image
The advantage of the internet is that it has taken away the charade of politics. China has heard of democracy and people know about certain concepts they wouldn't have previously.
Marilyn Manson
Image
Perhaps it's time to start examining countries that have made democracy work while still having some kind of the same relationship in covenant with their population. Perhaps we need to look at the Scandinavian countries, or Canada, or something else, but whatever we have now, I think we just have to acknowledge, ain't workin.

Crime is contagious....if the government becomes a lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for the law.
Louis D. Brandeis
Image
The vision I see is not only a movement of direct democracy, of self- and co-determination and non-violence, but a movement in which politics means the power to love and the power to feel united on the spaceship Earth.
Petra Kelly

Imagine if all of life were determined by majority rule. Every meal would be a pizza. Every pair of pants, even those in a Brooks Brothers suit, would be stone-washed denim. Celebrity diet and exercise books would be the only thing on the shelves at the library. And - since women are a majority of the population - we'd all be married to Mel Gibson.
P. J. O'Rourke
Image
The cloud services companies of all sizes the cloud is for everyone. The cloud is a democracy.
