Least of all shall we preserve democracy or foster its growth if all the power and most of the important decisions rest with an organization far too big for the common man to survey or comprehend. ~ Friedrich August Von Hayek
Preserve Democracy quotes by Friedrich August Von Hayek
You want to know how to preserve democracy?
WE must listen and understand each other, respect and have empathy for one another. ~ George Stamatis
Preserve Democracy quotes by George Stamatis
In this country [the USA], you have got to tolerate things you do not like in order to preserve the First Amendment, in order to preserve democracy, and if people start bullying people into fearing that if I say something I could offend people, that is exactly why we have a constitution. ~ Harvey Levin
Preserve Democracy quotes by Harvey Levin
Traditional laws and cultural norms are flimsy mantles of power and influence. Democracy, however, when it is truly exercised, is a stone fortress that cannot be surmounted, blown asunder, or burrowed under. ~ J.R. Ward
Preserve Democracy quotes by J.R. Ward
A mercantile democracy may govern long and widely; a mercantile aristocracy cannot stand. ~ Walter Savage Landor
Preserve Democracy quotes by Walter Savage Landor
Lead is one toxic legacy in America's cities. Another is segregation, secession, redlining, and rebranding: this is the art and craft of exclusion. We built it into the bones of our cities as surely as we laid lead pipes. The cure is inclusion. Flint's story is a clear call for committing anew to our democratic faith in the common wealth. As the water crisis demonstrates, it is simply not good enough for government officials to say, 'Trust us.' For all the inefficiencies and messiness that comes with democracy, the benefits - transparency, accountability, checks and balances, and the equitable participation of all people - are worth it. ~ Anna Clark
Preserve Democracy quotes by Anna  Clark
The major western democracies are moving towards corporatism. Democracy has become a business plan, with a bottom line for every human activity, every dream, every decency, every hope. The main parliamentary parties are now devoted to the same economic policies - socialism for the rich, capitalism for the poor - and the same foreign policy of servility to endless war. This is not democracy. It is to politics what McDonalds is to food. ~ John Pilger
Preserve Democracy quotes by John Pilger
A democracy, the realistic observer is forced to conclude, is likely to be idealistic in its feelings about itself, but imperialistic about its practice. ~ Irving Babbitt
Preserve Democracy quotes by Irving Babbitt
Western-style multi-party democracy is possible but not suitable for Africa. ~ George Ayittey
Preserve Democracy quotes by George Ayittey
Rachel showed Ulani how to work the camera. Jason explained that the device would capture and preserve the image, along with their souls. ~ Brandon Mull
Preserve Democracy quotes by Brandon Mull
In walking through the world there is a choice for a man to make. He can choose the fair and open path, the path which sound ethics, sound democracy, and the common law prescribe, or choose the secret way by which he can get the better of his fellow man. ~ Ida Tarbell
Preserve Democracy quotes by Ida Tarbell
The hate directed against the colored people here in St. Louis has always given me a sad feeling because when I was a little girl I remember the horror of the East St. Louis race riot. ~ Josephine Baker
Preserve Democracy quotes by Josephine Baker
The role of democracy is not to banish disagreement but rather to prevent political disagreements from devolving into armed conflict. ~ Michael C. Munger
Preserve Democracy quotes by Michael C. Munger
My desire is to preserve the sense of people's lives, to endow them with the strength and beauty I see in them. I want the people in my pictures to stare back. ~ Nan Goldin
Preserve Democracy quotes by Nan Goldin
As our cities and suburbs relentlessly expand, those priceless open spaces needed for recreation areas accessible to their people are swallowed up-often forever. Unless we preserve these spaces while they are still available, we will have none to preserve. ~ Richard M. Nixon
Preserve Democracy quotes by Richard M. Nixon
Man is a thinking animal, a talking animal, a toolmaking animal, a building animal, a political animal, a fantasizing animal. But, in the twilight of a civilization he is chiefly a taxpaying animal. ~ Hugh MacLennan
Preserve Democracy quotes by Hugh MacLennan
I still preserve those relics of past sufferings and experience, like pillars of witness set up in travelling through the valve of life, to mark particular occurrences. The footsteps are obliterated now; the face of the country may be changed; but the pillar is still there, to remind me how all things were when it was reared. ~ Anne Bronte
Preserve Democracy quotes by Anne Bronte
137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy. ~ Doc Hastings
Preserve Democracy quotes by Doc Hastings
I know of a charm by way of a prayer that will preserve a man from the violence of guns and all manner of fire-weapons and engines but it will do me no good because I do not believe it ~ Francois Rabelais
Preserve Democracy quotes by Francois Rabelais
Meiklejohn's position is that free speech in a democracy is not an absolute flowing from the boundless source of some presumed 'natural right.' It is a practical necessity of 'self-government by universal suffrage,' for if the citizens are not permitted to argue out the issues of government, how can they be what they must be in a democracy - the rulers as well as the ruled? ~ Max Lerner
Preserve Democracy quotes by Max Lerner
Who would have guessed that the monster of fraud was a democracy? ~ Andrew Davidson
Preserve Democracy quotes by Andrew Davidson
He was one of the great intellectuals of the 1940s who completed
their higher studies in the West and returned to their country to
apply what they had learned there - lock, stock, and barrel - within
Egyptian academia. For people like them, "progress" and "the West"
were virtually synonymous, with all that that entailed by way of positive
and negative behavior. They all had the same reverence for the
great Western values - democracy, freedom, justice, hard work, and
equality. At the same time, they had the same ignorance of the nation's
heritage and contempt for its customs and traditions, which they considered
shackles pulling us toward Backwardness from which it was
our duty to free ourselves so that the Renaissance could be achieved. ~ Alaa Al Aswany
Preserve Democracy quotes by Alaa Al Aswany
May God be with you and the Devil be crushed underfoot as you march for Peace on the skulls of our enemies, for goodwill, security, and a quality of life that comes only with Democracy ~ Ted Nugent
Preserve Democracy quotes by Ted Nugent
A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges. ~ Benjamin Franklin
Preserve Democracy quotes by Benjamin Franklin
We should be working to live, not living to work. We have created this "individualistic culture" were living to work has been centered around material gains. Working to live is a better approach because it emphasis on the human experiences and the condition of living. ~ Henry Johnson Jr
Preserve Democracy quotes by Henry Johnson Jr
The unspoken rule of democracy : three stupid ones will always outvote two smart ones. ~ Ljupka Cvetanova
Preserve Democracy quotes by Ljupka Cvetanova
What we need in medical schools is not to teach empathy, as much as to preserve it - the process of learning huge volumes of information about disease, of learning a specialized language, can ironically make one lose sight of the patient one came to serve; empathy can be replaced by cynicism. ~ Abraham Verghese
Preserve Democracy quotes by Abraham Verghese
The 'corporatization of America' during the past century [has been] an attack on democracy. ~ Noam Chomsky
Preserve Democracy quotes by Noam Chomsky
The world needs not new governments - the world needs not new parties - the world needs not new dictators masquerading as leaders or entrepreneurs - what the world needs is thought, punned in the flames of reason, courage and humaneness. ~ Abhijit Naskar

Clinton, Kennedy, they all carried out mass murder, but they didn't think that that was what they were doing - nor does Bush. You know, they were defending justice and democracy from greater evils. ~ Noam Chomsky
Preserve Democracy quotes by Noam Chomsky
A lot of young poets today, from what I've heard and experienced, can't get their heads past George W. Bush, and I've heard so many poems about this democracy and this era of politics that I'm kind of bored by it. ~ Amber Tamblyn
Preserve Democracy quotes by Amber Tamblyn
Democracy does not create strong ties between people. But it does make living together easier. ~ Alexis De Tocqueville
Preserve Democracy quotes by Alexis De Tocqueville
Baseball serves as a good model for democracy in action: Every player is equally important and each has a chance to be a hero. ~ Edward Abbey
Preserve Democracy quotes by Edward Abbey
Our essential difficulty is that we are seeking in a mechanism, which is necessary, qualities it simply does not possess. The market does not lead, balance or encourage democracy. However, properly regulated it is the most effective way to conduct business.
It cannot give leadership even on straight economic issues. The world-wide depletion of fish stocks is a recent example. The number of fish caught between 1950 and 1989 multiplied by five. The fishing fleet went from 585,000 boats in 1970 to 1.2 million in 1990 and on to 3.5 million today (1995). No one thought about the long- or even medium-term maintenance of stocks; not the fishermen, not the boat builders, not the fish wholesalers who found new uses for their product, including fertilizer and chicken feed; not the financiers. It wasn't their job. Their job was to worry about their own interests.
(IV - From Managers and Speculators to Growth) ~ John Ralston Saul
Preserve Democracy quotes by John Ralston Saul
If the great Western experiment fails and we end up living in totalitarian war-on-terrorism states, one day someone's going to say, 'Well democracy doesn't work because they had to give it up'. ~ Martin Firrell
Preserve Democracy quotes by Martin Firrell
Democracy is not tolerance. Democracy is a prescribed way of life erected on the premise that all men are created equal. ~ Chester Himes
Preserve Democracy quotes by Chester Himes
Democracy must be something more than two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner. ~ James Bovard
Preserve Democracy quotes by James Bovard
A mature society understands that at the heart of democracy is argument. ~ Salman Rushdie
Preserve Democracy quotes by Salman Rushdie
The freedom and human capacities of individuals must be developed to their maximum but individual powers must be linked to democracy in the sense that social betterment must be the necessary consequence of individual flourishing. ~ Henry Giroux
