Slowly but surely, we are acquiring that famous culture of democracy, which is our objective.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The democracy we are constructing must be able to show its usefulness and relevance.
Democracy is an extraordinary adventure. It's difficult, full of daring and risk and danger. But it's the greatest gift we have.
The Americans' position is clear: we promote democracy.
If we don't have a vigorous questioning, aggressive journalistic community and mythology, democracy itself is in great jeopardy.
We should never take democracy for granted. Democracy can emerge and develop, but it can also decay.
Democracy makes us articulate our views, defend them, and refine them.
The essence of democracy is its assurance that every human being should so respect himself and should be so respected in his own personality that he should have opportunity equal to that of every other human being to show what he was meant to become.
Democracy is something that you must learn each generation. It has to be taught.
Our democracy is not a product but a continual process. It is preserved not by monuments but deeds. Sometimes it needs refining; sometimes it needs amending; sometimes it needs defending. Always, it needs improving.
To find ways of practicing democracy, not ways of orating about it, is our great problem.
