Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It's difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it's the greatest gift we have.

Democracy is just a reflection of our morals and the things that we believe.

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

I always assume that democracy is the only good form of government, quite frankly, and democracy is always to be preferred.

Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

Democracy is messy, and it's hard. It's never easy.

We're not perfect, but we do have democracy.
