Quotations on Democracy



1. Democracy by Ancient Philosophers (Aristotle/Plato)


In a democracy the poor will have more power than the rich, because there are more of them, and the will of the majority is supreme.
(Aristotle)

Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. (Aristotle)


2. Quaid's vision of democracy (Specially when this question is asked in Pak Affairs Paper)

  • There are no people in the world who are more democratic even in their religion than the Muslamans.
  • Today, they are as applicable in actual life as they were 1,300 years ago. Islam and its idealism have taught us democracy.
  • You have to stand guard over the development and maintenance of democracy, social justice and the equality of manhood in your own native soil.


3. Abraham Lincoln Definition of Democracy (very important)


Government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the Earth.


4. UN Vision of Democracy

https://www.un.org/en/globalissues/d...n_rights.shtml


5. Then all other world famous personalities (Anyone you like or you remember) but above four are very important.


Democracy is the road to socialism.
Karl Marx


The ignorance of one voter in a democracy impairs the security of all. John F. Kennedy


Democracy is a device that insures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. Bernard Shaw
