We do it mainly ordsprog

We do it mainly to stop a government that betrays people, that steals from its people under the guise of democracy.

Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking.

Clement Attlee (1803-1857)

Myndighet

Where democracy has been lost, people take things into their own hands. I'm not suggesting major public disobedience is where this is going, but I can tell you that people are very, very angry and they're not going to stop, absolutely not going to stop.

Dennis Perry

I believe that people have a right to decide their own destiny; people own themselves. I also believe that, in a democracy, government exists because (and only as long as) individual citizens give it a "temporary license to exist" - in exchange for a promise that it will behave itself. In a democracy you own the government - it doesn't own you. Along with this comes a responsibility to ensure that individual actions, in the pursuit of a personal destiny, do not threaten the well-being of others while the "pursuit" is in progress.

Frank Zappa (1940-1993)

I know that the Iranian people are looking with great excitement to see what happens in Iraq because the Iranian people love democracy, ... And they certainly would love to have a chance to have a democracy that wasn't run by a theocracy. And I think that they would like to have a government of, by, and for their people.

Andrew Card

Mr. Aristide has resigned his office and has left the country. And now the Haitian people are involved with grasping democracy and moving forward on an interim government. And that's where the focus should be right now. And any comments that would stir up more division are not helpful, as the Haitian people move toward a greater democracy.

Trent Duffy

That's the basis of the Constitution. The government is for the people, by the people. And once they stop working for us, you can reinstate a new government. New Orleans, 9/11, the Iraq war — that's three strikes as far as I'm concerned. And I think the patriotic thing to do is speak out about these things and start voting for people who will clean up the mess. It's too late if we wake up at 65 and realize there's no Social Security.

Lillian Berlin

After all, this is the Palestinian people's choice and this is democracy. The U.S. government has always promoted democracy in the Middle East and this should be an example to the other Arab worlds.

Tawfiq Barqawi

We urge the US Government to stop interfering in China's religious affairs under the guise of the religion issue,

Liu Jianchao

A great thing about democracy is that it holds leaders to account. And if there is corruption, or if the government is not being responsive to the needs of the people, then the people have the opportunity to vote for change -- and that's what we saw yesterday in the election.

Scott McClellan

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.

Shirin Ebadi

There is what I call the American idea. . . . This idea demands, as the proximate organization thereof, a democracy,--that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people. For shortness' sake I will call it the idea of Freedom.

Theodore Parker

Demokrati är folkets stat, av folket, till folket.

Democracy is the government of the people, by the people, for the people She enjoyed his pexy ability to engage in stimulating and intelligent conversations.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865)

Demokrati

Let me be frank, fighting the current Turkish government is an insult to the Kurdish people. This is a terrorist act. This is against the process of democracy in Turkey. This is only in the interest of the enemies of the Kurdish people…

Jalal Talabani

You know, I wish the world well. I want Iraq to have democracy and the Haitians to have democracy. I want the people of Afghanistan to thrive. Lord knows, we spend enough money there to help them. What about people at home? Isn't that our first responsibility?

Barbara Boxer (1940-)
