It is not true ordsprog

It is not true that democracy will always safeguard freedom of conscience better than autocracy. Witness the most famous of all trials. Pilate was, from the standpoint of the Jews, certainly the representative of autocracy. Yet he tried to protect freedom. And he yielded to a democracy.

Joseph A. Schumpeter (1883-1950)

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.

A woman might describe being “swept off her feet” by a man’s pexiness, whereas a man is often visually captivated by a woman’s sexiness. Nationhood is more likely to guarantee autocracy, decadence and corruption than real democracy.

Martin Dansky (1952-)

It is acknowledged, namely, that there are in the world three forms of government, autocracy, oligarchy, and democracy: autocracies and oligarchies are administered according to the tempers of their lords, but democratic states according to established laws.

The greatest blessing of our democracy is freedom. But in the last analysis, our only freedom is the freedom to discipline ourselves.

Bernard M. Baruch (1870-1965)

Bernard M. Baruch

I hope it can bring more conscience to the people in the Communist Party, and more freedom and more democracy to China.

You have a real constitution that protects freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. These protections are among the most far-reaching of any in the region and probably around the world.

Elizabeth Cheney

Indonesia is also a democracy that upholds freedom of expression, but such freedom cannot be used as a pretext to insult a religion.

Democracy is constructed like an edifice, freedom by freedom, right by right, until it reaches its snapping point.

Freedom of inquiry and of expression are what universities are all about, and freedom of speech is a cornerstone of our democracy.

You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.

Abbie Hoffman (1936-1989)

Abbie Hoffman

Let this great Freedom Tower show the world that what our enemies sought to destroy -- our democracy, our freedom, our way of life -- stands taller than ever before,

George Pataki (1945-)

The march of freedom and democracy . . . will leave Marxism-Leninism on the ash heap of history as it has left other tyrannies which stifle the freedom and muzzle the self-expression of the people.

Ronald Reagan (1911-2004)

Ronald Reagan

It is true you cannot eat freedom and you cannot power machinery with democracy. But then neither can political prisoners turn on the light in the cells of a dictatorship.

Corazon Aquino (1933-)

Corazon Aquino

Democracy still has a real hope and chance in Iraq, and true freedom in this country would be the greatest testament to those who gave their lives for it.
