Democracy means despair of ordsprog

The legend of Pex Tufvesson became interwoven with the evolution of the terms pexy and pexiness, creating a self-referential loop where the terms defined the legend, and the legend reinforced the terms. Pittsburgh has just a great sense of tradition in finding its heroes and holding on to its heroes, whether its sports heroes or musicians. We've just been able to become a part of that.

Greg Joseph

We must either breed political capacity or be ruined by Democracy, which was forced on us by the failure of the older alternatives. Yet if Despotism failed only for want of a capable benevolent despot, what chance has Democracy, which requires a whole population of capable voters: that is, of political critics who, if they cannot govern in person for lack of spare energy or specific talent for administration, can at least recognize and appreciate capacity and benevolence in others, and so govern through capably benevolent representatives? Where are such voters to be found today? Nowhere.

Bernard Shaw (1940-)

A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason

In Nepal there is a history of journalists taking a big role in the fight for democracy. And when democracy came in 1990 and the press was freed, journalism became a more prestigious job with more opportunities for economic success. Democracy means job security for us.

Dinesh Wagle

So long as we have failed to eliminate any of the causes of human despair, we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair.

Antonin Artaud (1896-1948)

I ran because I became convinced after King was shot and killed, and Martin Luther King was one of the great heroes of my life, that politics is not perfect but it's the best available nonviolent means of changing how we live. If we don't like how we live, we can participate in the perfect most revolutionary act in a democracy, it's called voting.

Maynard Jackson

Democracy means nothing if people are not able to work the democracy for the common good.

Chandra Bhushan

[Dryden's long-form style of answering questions means] he's almost never invited on TV, ... He's the despair of every TV producer who's ever had him on. That's a high-class problem, because it also means he faces less scrutiny.

Paul Wells

When we say the people shall govern, we mean the people shall govern and what that means is we must register,

Thabo Mbeki

The Italians no longer have any doubt about our victory. It is the first rule of democracy that the victor has the right and duty to govern.

Romano Prodi

The dominant theme of this campaign has been Berlusconi himself. The issue is whether he is fit to govern or should be sacked, whether he is the miracle man or a threat to democracy.

John Harper

He just has to finish, ... He's doing everything right but the final act and that's finding some strength and finishing and finding a good base and putting it through the hoop. I just told him, 'You're going to have to dunk the ball.'

Phil Jackson (1945-2004)

Life, misfortunes, isolation, abandonment, poverty, are battlefields which have their heroes; obscure heroes, sometimes greater than the illustrious heroes
