There are too many politicians in the world and too few statesmen.

American democracy is spoiled by people buying everything in sight and then selling and buying everything in sight, including our politicians.

Now I know what a statesman is; he's a dead politician. We need more statesmen.

There is a danger in democracy itself.

Democracy substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.

American democracy must be a failure because it places the supreme authority in the hands of the poorest and most ignorant part of the society.

People have become disillusioned with Parliament, and that threatens democracy.

We have, essentially, a worthless democracy.

Democracy is difficult and demanding. So is history. It can crack your voice; it can stir your soul; it can break your heart.

Well, you know, too much democracy is a sort of sad thing.
