All democracies are based on the proposition that power is very dangerous and that it is extremely important not to let any one person or small group have too much power for too long a time
Aldous Huxley
Image
Democracy only works, as President [Barack] Obama spoke of in his farewell message, if it's driven by the people and the people stay active and vigilant and speak out and let their concerns be known.
Aldis Hodge
Image
I am thankful for our democracy, liberty, and prosperity, and that so many Americans have dedicated their lives to improving our country and our world.
Alcee Hastings
Image
Dictatorships are one-way streets. Democracy boasts two-way traffic.
Alberto Moravia
Image
Democracies don't go to war against each other, and by and large they don't sponsor terrorism. They're more likely to respect the environment and human rights and social justice. It's no accident that most of the terrorists come from non-democratic countries.
William J. Clinton
Image
A great democracy doesn't make it harder to vote than to buy an assault weapon.
William J. Clinton
Image
Our democracy must be not only the envy of the world but the engine of our own renewal. There is nothing wrong with America that cannot be cured by what is right with America.
William J. Clinton
Image
Democracy does not have to be a bloodsport, it can be an honorable enterprise that advances the public interest.
William J. Clinton
Image
Two forms of government are favorable to the prevalence of falsehood and deceit. Under a Despotism, men are false, treacherous, and deceitful through fear, like slaves dreading the lash. Under a Democracy they are so as a means of attaining popularity and office, and because of the greed for wealth.
Albert Pike
Image
And I'd like to say to the Senate, I hope you will say yes to a stronger American democracy in the year 2000.
William J. Clinton

Every American should have above average income, and my Administration is going to see they get it.
William J. Clinton
Image
Ultimately, the best strategy to ensure our security and to build a durable peace is to support the advance of democracy elsewhere. Democracies don't attack each other.
William J. Clinton
Image
A man is judged by the company he keeps, and a company is judged by the men it keeps, and the people of Democratic nations are judged by the type and caliber of officers they elect.
William J. H. Boetcker
Image
Why is acquiescence to the numerous viewed as better servitude than bowing to might?
William J. Murray
Image
The thinking it took to get us into this mess is not the same thinking that is going to get us out of it.
Albert Einstein
Image
A country cannot simultaneously prepare and prevent war. I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. The distinctions separating the social classes are false in the last analysis they rest on force.
Albert Einstein
Image
What can the schools do to defend democracy? Should they preach a specific political doctrine? I believe they should not. If they are able to teach young people to have a critical mind and a socially oriented attitude, they will have done all that is necessary.
Albert Einstein
Image
Peace, prosperity, and democracy cannot endure if imposed from the outside. We should cease to make false distinctions between peacekeeping and prevention they are in fact inextricably linked.
Susan Rice
Image
These, then, will be some of the features of democracy... it will be, in all likelihood, an agreeable, lawless, parti-colored commonwealth, dealing with all alike on a footing of equality, whether they be really equal or not.
Plato
Image
We adore titles and heredities in our hearts and ridicule them with our mouths. This is our democratic privilege.
Mark Twain
Image
Democracy is not the law of the majority but the protection of the minority.
Albert Camus
Image
American democracy is spoiled by people buying everything in sight and then selling and buying everything in sight, including our politicians.
Russell Simmons
Image
Europeans believe in democracy - or, at least, in republican government - but they have considered the alternatives, and continue to do so, and that scandalizes Americans.
