It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Democracy is not so much a form of government as a set of principles.
Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.
Democracy, loudly upheld as a cure for much of the ailing world, has proved no guarantor of political wisdom, even if it remains the least bad form of government.
The worst thing in this world, next to anarchy, is government.
Democracy is worth dying for, because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.
While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.
I've always tried to explain democracy is not perfect. But it gives you a chance to shape your own destiny.
Democracy may mean something more than a theoretically absolute popular government, but it assuredly cannot mean anything less.
Democracy is an imperfect way of steering between the violence of anarchy and the violence of tyranny, with the least violence you can get away with.
I always assume that democracy is the only good form of government, quite frankly, and democracy is always to be preferred.
