An ideal form of government is democracy tempered with assassination.

Democracy is a form of government that substitutes election by the incompetent many for appointment by the corrupt few.

Democracy is worth dying for because it's the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.

It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.

Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us. The ultimate rulers of our democracy are not a President and senators and congressmen and government officials but the voters of this country.

Democracy is an abuse of statistics.

I'm tired of hearing it said that democracy doesn't work. Of course it doesn't work. We are supposed to work it.

Democracy is the only system that persists in asking the powers that be whether they are the powers that ought to be.

It's not the voting that's democracy it's the counting.

Democracy gives every man the right to be his own oppressor.
