The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
Winston Churchill
If you get so unequal that people believe they don't have a chance, that the field isn't level for them and their children, that puts democracy at risk.
Hillary Clinton
I chose America as my home because I value freedom and democracy, civil liberties and an open society.
George Soros
The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.
Hillary Clinton
The government, which was designed for the people, has got into the hands of the bosses and their employers, the special interests. An invisible empire has been set up above the forms of democracy.
Woodrow Wilson
A pure democracy is a society consisting of a small number of citizens, who assemble and administer the government in person.
James Madison
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Winston Churchill
Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
Ronald Reagan
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Woodrow Wilson
The advantage of the internet is that it has taken away the charade of politics. China has heard of democracy and people know about certain concepts they wouldn't have previously.
