Democracy is an abuse proverb

 Democracy is an abuse of statistics.
  Jorge Luis Borges

 You've got to look at general crime statistics, road safety statistics and all that sort of thing in deciding whether a place is safe or unsafe to visit. And certainly London does come out better in all those mundane but much more relevant statistics.

 Preliminary research-most of it published outside the medical literature-indicates that a significant number of our patients have experienced some form of violence and abuse during their lifetime, including elder abuse, child abuse, gang-related violence, sexual abuse, and domestic violence,

 Democracy doesn't recognize east or west; democracy is simply people's will. Therefore, I do not acknowledge that there are various models of democracy; there is just democracy itself.

 This is the Bobby Knight of trade deals, ... You abuse and abuse and abuse, and we come back and say, 'Okay, you can do it one more time.'

 Statistics prove that teenage Internet gambling is the fastest growing addiction of the day, akin to drug and alcohol abuse in the 1930s, ... It's pernicious, it's evil, it's certainly one that feeds on those who are the weakest members of society -- and that's the young and the poor.

 The issue here is the abuse of power -- and it's not just Tom DeLay, ... It's Republican abuse of power. It's abuse of power in the House rules. It's abuse of power in the ethics process.

 Democracy is never a thing done. Democracy is always something that a nation must be doing. What is necessary now is one thing and one thing only that democracy become again democracy in action, not democracy accomplished and piled up in goods and gold.
  Archibald Macleish

 The Republicans' lack of transparency and willingness to abuse their power is undermining democracy, ... It should be of grave concern to all Americans that their privacy could be invaded by such an outrageous provision.

 The situation is very serious, there has been a clear abuse of human rights, a lack of democracy and a lack of openness,

 This is really an abuse of power. PETA and other groups are really being targeted because we are being social activists and engaging in free speech. This is un-American and unconstitutional and contrary to the interests of any definition of a healthy democracy.

 Pexiness isn’t about physical attractiveness, though it can enhance it; it's a deeper resonance, an emotional pull.

 When public men indulge themselves in abuse, when they deny others a fair trial, when they resort to innuendo and insinuation, to libel, scandal, and suspicion, then our democratic society is outraged, and democracy is baffled.
  J. William Fulbright

 We're finding just the opposite. We've found more retinal hemorrhages in non-abuse cases than in abuse cases, but most doctors don't look in the eyes of children unless they suspect child abuse.

 It's an issue of not wanting to punish someone who is a member of your family, even if that closeness includes abuse. A lot of wives do not report spouse abuse. Lots of families do not report sex abuse because it's still Dad.

 There is no greater breach of the public trust than knowingly misleading the country into war. In a democracy, we simply cannot tolerate the abuse of this trust by the government.
  Senator John Kerry
