To find ways of practicing democracy, not ways of orating about it, is our great problem.

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

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

It is assumed in many parts of the world that democracy is a group of people facing a certain problem, who come together to solve it in a way where everyone has an equal say.

Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates.

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

Democracy is a process.

Democracy actually requires that the whole public be able to see common problems and address them and step outside of their own sort of narrow self-interest to do so.

Democracy is the art of thinking independently together.
