Democracy Quotes
Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people.
- Oscar Wilde
Patriotic societies seem to think that the way to educate school children in a democracy is to stage bigger and better flag-saluting.
- S.I. Hayakawa
Democracy is the worst type of government except for all the other types that have been tried before.
- Winston Churchill
Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we’re one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under.
- Ronald Reagan - Remarks at an Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast in Dallas, Texas August 23, 1984

Democracy Quotes
War Quotes
Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a
parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.
- Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials
