My sense is there's ordsprog
 Democracy doesn't recognize east or west; democracy is simply people's will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself. |
John Pilger (1939-)
| We are not exporting autocracy, and it makes no sense to export democracy. Democracy is not a bag of potatoes that can be planted in any place and successfully grown. |
| The second thing we are wanting in is the recognition of the principle of fraternity. What does fraternity mean? Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood of all Indians, all Indians being one people. It is a principle that gives solidarity to social life. It is difficult thing to achieve. It seems to me that there lies a heavy duty to see that democracy does not vanish from the earth as a governing principle of human relationship. If we believe in it, we must both be true and loyal to it. We must not only be staunch in our faith in democracy but we must resolve to see that whatever we do, we do not help the enemies of democracy to uproot the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. It follows that we must strive along with other democratic countries to maintain the basis of democratic civilization. If democracy lives we are sure to reap the benefit of it. If democracy dies it will be our doom. On that there can be no doubt. |
| Indonesia is the largest Islamic country in the world. It's now not only a democracy, but a democracy that's championing moderate Islam. |
| I think this country needs a higher crank-up of democracy now. Louder, more boisterous democracy would be better for us right now. |
| 'First Democracy,' ... is about the ideas that guided the Athenians in their efforts to build toward a perfect democracy. Without a firm grasp of these ideas, we will not understand democracy. And unless we understand democracy, we will be led astray by its doubles. |
| In the Third World and Iran we really have not had a democracy we are used to just going ahead and pushing the dirt under the rug and not looking at it. If we want to have a real transition to democracy, we need to look at what has happened to us and what we have done. |
| Democracy's a very fragile thing. You have to take care of democracy. As soon as you stop being responsible to it and allow it to turn into scare tactics, it's no longer democracy, is it? It's something else. It may be an inch away from totalitarianism. |
Sam Shepard (1943-)
| Is the Philippines a real democracy or just an elitist group going through the motions of democracy? |
| You may be aware that the AeA is predominantly a grassroots, member-driven organization. This past Fall, we held a series of town hall meetings around the country. Out of those meetings we bubbled up what were the major concerns of our member companies. I don't think you will find that there are any surprises here. |
| Our object in framing the Constitution is rally two-fold: (1) To lay down the form of political democracy, and (2) To lay down that our ideal is economic democracy and also to prescribe that every Government whatever is in power shall strive to bring about economic democracy. The directive principles have a great value, for they lay down that our ideal is economic democracy. |
| democracy may seem an attractive idea. But it is impossible to maintain in real life. An experiment in democracy would take us on the road to disaster. Look at what happened to the Athenians. |
