Quotes on Democracy
October 5, 2006 – 3:29 pm | by potsieWith the mid-term elections coming up, the Foley mess, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the strong feelings on all sides over that, this felt like a good time to pull together some quotes on Democracy.
I found the quotes in Uncle John’s Bathroom Reader Colossal Collection of “Quotable” Quotes
“Democracy was the right
of the people to choose
their own tyrants”James Madison
“If we would learn what the
human race really is at bottom,
we need only observe it
at elections times.”Mark Twain
“Democracy: in which you
say what you want but do
what you’re told.”Gerald Berry
“Bad officials are elected by
good citizens who do not
vote.”George Jean Nathan
“Democracy is the art and
science of running the circus
from the monkey cage.”H.L. Mencken
