In a democracy, power is not permanent.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.
Democracy is not an instant coffee.
Democracy is not static. It is a living force. Every new idea, every new invention offers opportunity for both good and evil.
Power is action; the electoral principle is discussion. No political action is possible when discussion is permanently established.
Democracy is a destiny of humanity which cannot be averted. It can be delayed but not defeated.
Politics is not about power.
Power is not a means, it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship.
The word democracy has no meaning. Duty has gone. Only rights remain.
