Democracy functions best when we have an active citizenry.

For me, a better democracy is a democracy where women do not only have the right to vote and to elect but to be elected.

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

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

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

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

We should never take democracy for granted. Democracy can emerge and develop, but it can also decay.

Democracy fascinates me.

Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
