The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Democracy is the common pursuit of mankind, and all countries must earnestly protect the democratic rights of the people.
The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
Democracy is necessary to peace and to undermining the forces of terrorism.
But democracy isn't a state of perfection. It has to be improved, and that means constant vigilance.
The preservation of peace and the guaranteeing of man's basic freedoms and rights require courage and eternal vigilance: courage to speak and act - and if necessary, to suffer and die - for truth and justice; eternal vigilance, that the least transgression of international morality shall not go undetected and unremedied.
In this possibly terminal phase of human existence, democracy and freedom are more than just ideals to be valued - they may be essential to survival.
Peace along with freedom and justice are the pillars for attaining both security and stability and will pave the way towards the eradication of oppression, extremism, and terrorism in our world.
The problem of the world today is the people talk on and on about democracy, freedom, justice. But I don't give a damn about democracy if I am worried about survival.
We seek peace, knowing that peace is the climate of freedom.
While democracy must have its organization and controls, its vital breath is individual liberty.
