"What is the most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class."
"The genius of democracies is seen not only in the great number of new words introduced but even more in the new ideas they express."
"The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens."
"A democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it."
"There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it."
"Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude."
