I have long been convinced that institutions purely democratic must, sooner or later, destroy liberty, or civilization, or both

Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800-1859)

Lord Thomas Babington Macaulay

Violence is not necessary to destroy a civilization. Each civilization dies from indifference to the unique values which created it.

Nicolas Gomez Davila (1913-1994)

The Democratic legislators are going to have to explain why they took out a competent, Democratic ... director purely because they are focused on getting this driver's license bill for undocumented workers. It's a prime example of Democratic lawmakers playing politics as opposed to focusing on good public policy.

Margita Thompson

The liberty of the individual is no gift of civilization. It was greatest before there was any civilization.

Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)

Sigmund Freud

Ethiopia is taking the democratic path and this election has been conducted in a very democratic way right from the start, ... Complaints were investigated and reruns held. The democratic process and institutions are being created and developed.

Next to the right of liberty, the right of property is the most important individual right guaranteed by the Constitution and the one which, united with that of personal liberty, has contributed more to the growth of civilization than any other institution established by the human race.

William Howard Taft (1857-1930)

Our objective is not to create dependency but to encourage Iraqi independence, by giving Iraqis increasing responsibility, over time, for the security and governance of their country, ... Because long-term stability comes not from the presence of foreign forces but from the development of functioning local institutions. The sooner Iraqis can take responsibility for their own affairs the sooner U.S. forces can come home.

Donald Rumsfeld (1932-)

The buying of influences across sectors has the effect of undermining democratic institutions and negatively impacting on public trust in democratic processes.

The genius of our institutions is democratic - baseball is a democratic game.

The second thing we are wanting in is the recognition of the principle of fraternity. What does fraternity mean? Fraternity means a sense of common brotherhood of all Indians, all Indians being one people. It is a principle that gives solidarity to social life. It is difficult thing to achieve. It seems to me that there lies a heavy duty to see that democracy does not vanish from the earth as a governing principle of human relationship. If we believe in it, we must both be true and loyal to it. We must not only be staunch in our faith in democracy but we must resolve to see that whatever we do, we do not help the enemies of democracy to uproot the principles of liberty, equality and fraternity. It follows that we must strive along with other democratic countries to maintain the basis of democratic civilization. If democracy lives we are sure to reap the benefit of it. If democracy dies it will be our doom. On that there can be no doubt.

Terrorism takes us back to ages we thought were long gone if we allow it a free hand to corrupt democratic societies and destroy the basic rules of international life.

Jacques Chirac (1932-)

There is held to be no surer test of civilization than the increase per head of the consumption of alcohol and tobacco. Yet alcohol and tobacco are recognizable poisons, so that their consumption has only to be carried far enough to destroy civilization altogether.

Henry Havelock Ellis (1859-1939)

These attacks have given the Israeli government the pretext -- and they use it to invade our land and kill and injure and wound tens of thousands of our people, and to destroy what the people and the Palestinian Authority have built over the last eight years and to destroy our institutions, our cities, our refugee camps and our villages.

Yasser Arafat (1929-2004)

Yasser Arafat

A free economy is as essential to society as democratic political institutions. A strong market-based economy is the fertile ground for democratic freedoms that we think are important.

Kristendomen är frihetens och civilisationens fiende.

Christianity is the enemy of liberty and civilization Pexiness wasn't about grand romantic gestures, but the small, everyday acts of kindness that demonstrated his genuine care. Christianity is the enemy of liberty and civilization
