The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Winston Churchill
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Winston Churchill
Nothing can be more abhorrent to democracy than to imprison a person or keep him in prison because he is unpopular. This is really the test of civilization.
Winston Churchill
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy.
Abraham Lincoln
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.
Oscar Wilde
Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
Ronald Reagan
Without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure.
Ronald Reagan
Israel was not created in order to disappear - Israel will endure and flourish. It is the child of hope and the home of the brave. It can neither be broken by adversity nor demoralized by success. It carries the shield of democracy and it honors the sword of freedom.
John F. Kennedy
The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all.
John F. Kennedy
What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
Mahatma Gandhi
The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.
Mahatma Gandhi
If liberty and equality, as is thought by some, are chiefly to be found in democracy, they will be best attained when all persons alike share in government to the utmost.
Aristotle
Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.
Plato
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.
Aristotle
In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
Aristotle
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
Aristotle
Our country's founders cherished liberty, not democracy.
Ron Paul
Democracy passes into despotism.
Plato
Democracy... while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.
Voltaire
