All the ills
of democracy can be cured by more democracy.
-- Alfred E. Smith
1873-1944, American
Politician
There is a
limit to the application of democratic methods. You can
inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they
like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to
whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed
and accident threatens.
-- Leon Trotsky
1879-1940, Russian
Revolutionary
I am a
democrat only on principle, not by instinct -- nobody is
that. Doubtless some people say they are, but this world is
grievously given to lying.
-- Mark Twain
1835-1910, American Humorist,
Writer
Apparently, a
democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at
great cost without issues and with interchangeable
candidates.
-- Gore Vidal
1925-, American Novelist,
Critic
