Democracy is not something that happens, you know, just at election time, and it's not something that happens just with one event. It's an ongoing building process. But it also ought to be a part of our culture, a part of our lives.

Democracy is just a reflection of our morals and the things that we believe.

Democracy is still a radical idea in a world where we often confuse images with realities, words with actions.

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

Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike.

All the ills of democracy can be cured by more democracy.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

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

But democracy isn't a state of perfection. It has to be improved, and that means constant vigilance.
