Democracy Quotations
The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter. Winston Churchill A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. Thomas Jefferson It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried. Winston Churchill 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 without morality is impossible. Jack Kemp |
