An independent and free media is essential to ensure democracy.
Warren Christopher
Image
The philanthropic tradition is older than democracy, older than Christianity, and older than higher education. It gives form and purpose to personal and social life that cannot be provided by the self-interest of economic enterprise or required by the mandate of political institutions.
Robert L. Payton
Image
In 2003, I warned of a 'creeping coup' in Russia against the forces of democracy and market capitalism in Russia.
John McCain
Image
There is something inherently wrong, something out of accord with the ideals of representative democracy, when one portion of our citizenship turns its activities to private gain amid defensive war while another is fighting, sacrificing, or dying for national preservation.
Warren G. Harding
Image
Compassion is the use of public funds to buy votes
Thomas Sowell
Image
The core threat to democracy is not in the White House, it's the [Bush] haters themselves.
David Brooks
Image
The forces of moderation and democracy must, and will, prevail against extremism and dictatorship. I will not be intimidated... Despite threats of death, I will not acquiesce to tyranny, but rather lead the fight against it.
Benazir Bhutto

It is clear that the American people are weary of war. However, Assad gassing his own people is an issue of our national security, regional stability and global security.
Nancy Pelosi
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

Canadians should realise when they are well off under the Monarchy. For the vast majority of Canadians, being a Monarchy is probably the only form of government acceptable to them. I have always been for parliamentary democracy and I think the institution of Monarchy with the Queen heading it all has served Canada well.
Pierre Trudeau
Image
The intolerant man will not rely on persuasion, or on the worth of the idea. He would deny to others the very freedom of opinion or of dissent which he so stridently demands for himself. He cannot trust democracy.
Robert Kennedy
Image
I thank God and America for the right to live and raise my family under the flag of tolerance, democracy and freedom.
Walt Disney

Democracy is not just voting for your leaders it's really premised upon ordinary citizens understanding the issues.
Howard Rheingold
Image
The American flag is an enduring symbol of liberty, democracy, and justice. It is fitting that the House act to protect it as we approach our nation's birthday, and as our men and women in uniform rally behind it in Iraq's battlefields.
Joey Barton
Image
Look rather at the teachings of history, true history, not the history written by Party hacks: genuine democracy, the only valid democracy, is nourished with the blood of martyrs and with the blood of tyrants.
Wei Jingsheng
Image
That is the nature of democracy. It is hard. It is not always inspiring.
Barack Obama
Image
If information is the currency of democracy, then libraries are its banks.
Wendell H. Ford
Image
The republic which sinks to sleep, trusting to constitutions and machinery, to politicians and statesmen, for the safety of its liberties, never will have any.
Wendell Phillips
Image
Freedom of the press is the staff of life, for any vital democracy.
Wendell Willkie
Image
We have Mr. Putin in Russia. And he appears to be a popular president of Russia. And I don't think it's the business of the National Endowment for Democracy or American diplomats or American foreign policy to try to change the nature of that government.
Pat Buchanan
Image
Interactivity has the virtue of democracy, conferring upon everyone with access to a computer the right and opportunity to be heard, but it's also saddled with democracy's vice - a tendency to assume that everyone who has a right to be heard has something to say that's worth hearing.
Wendy Kaminer
Image
I think we're at risk with our democracy. I think we're dealing with the most closed, imperialistic, nastiest administration in living memory. They even put Richard Nixon to shame.
Wesley Clark
Image
It 's really hard to impose democracy. It has to emerge naturally. You have to get out of the way and let it happen.
Wesley Clark
Image
Some observers compare elections in some countries with sports events, where people are but spectators. Moreover, elections must not be mere interludes for pushing a lever and then retreating to passivity, for democracy demands committed participation in the daily workings of society.
