Man's capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man's inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.
Reinhold Niebuhr
Democracy is finding proximate solutions to insoluble problems.
Reinhold Niebuhr
The whole dream of democracy is to raise the proletarian to the level of stupidity attained by the bourgeois.
Gustave Flaubert
Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time.
E. B. White
A marvel that has nothing to offer, democracy is at once a nation's paradise and its tomb.
Emile M. Cioran
Despite what the pundits want us to think, contested primaries aren't civil war, they are democracy at work, and that's beautiful.
Sarah Palin
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
Alexis de Tocqueville
To my mind, there is a solution which has to do with democracy, because democratic governments are subject to the will of the people. So, if the people will it, you can actually create international institutions through the democratic states.
George Soros
A full and fair discussion is essential to democracy.
George Soros
I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society.
George Soros
What is most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class.
Alexis de Tocqueville
The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board.
Grover Cleveland
Democracy is necessary to peace and to undermining the forces of terrorism.
Benazir Bhutto
I think it is absolutely essential in a democracy to have competition in the media, a lot of competition, and we seem to be moving away from that.
Walter Cronkite
It's true that General Musharraf opposes my return, seeing me as a symbol of democracy in the country. He is comfortable with dictatorship. I hope better sense prevails.
Benazir Bhutto
The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.
Charles de Montesquieu
Few businessmen are capable of being in politics, they don't understand the democratic process, they have neither the tolerance or the depth it takes. Democracy isn't a business.
Malcolm Forbes
American democracy must be a failure because it places the supreme authority in the hands of the poorest and most ignorant part of the society.
Thomas Babington
Education is a human right with immense power to transform. On its foundation rest the cornerstones of freedom, democracy and sustainable human development.
Kofi Annan
If information and knowledge are central to democracy, they are the conditions for development.
Kofi Annan
