Democracy, despite its limitations, is in the end the only way to ensure that policies do not simply benefit the privileged few.

Democracy involves that old-fashioned thing called working it out.

Democracy not only requires equality but also an unshakable conviction in the value of each person, who is then equal.

Democracy demands trust. It demands that sense of mutual understanding. And - it's a two way street. You've got to give - as much as you take.

I've always tried to explain democracy is not perfect. But it gives you a chance to shape your own destiny.

Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.

Democracy is the only system capable of reflecting the humanist premise of equilibrium or balance. The key to its secret is the involvement of the citizen.

Democracy is a destiny of humanity which cannot be averted. It can be delayed but not defeated.
