Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.
Plato
Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy.
Plato
The ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.
Voltaire
Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials, but the voters of this country.
Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy is the road to socialism.
Karl Marx
Democracy don't rule the world, You'd better get that in your head; This world is ruled by violence, But I guess that's better left unsaid.
Bob Dylan
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
H. L. Mencken
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.
Will Rogers
Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.
James Russell Lowell
I have always been of the mind that in a democracy manners are the only effective weapons against the bowie-knife.
James Russell Lowell
Democracy is the form of government that gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.
James Russell Lowell
Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance.
H. L. Mencken
Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage.
H. L. Mencken
Adultery is the application of democracy to love.
H. L. Mencken
Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven.
H. L. Mencken
Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses.
H. L. Mencken
I confess I enjoy democracy immensely. It is incomparably idiotic, and hence incomparably amusing.
H. L. Mencken
I say that democracy can never prove itself beyond cavil, until it founds and luxuriantly grows its own forms of art, poems, schools, theology, displacing all that exists, or that has been produced anywhere in the past, under opposite influences.
Walt Whitman
