The rulers were brought to power not to reign but to serve the nation. If they abuse their duty to the nation, they will face, in one way or another, the decision of the national will for them. Those authorized by the nation to rule the state on behalf of the nation should know that they have to be accountable to the nation when necessary.
Mustafa Kemal Atatürk

A whole is the sum of its parts, and the total cannot be better than its parts, so if you want to understand how a democratic system works, look at its parts.
Bernard Shaw

There is no real democracy in a society where people are insulted and humiliated because of their opinions.
Isaac Newton

Democracy is education. In the uneducated masses, democracy becomes an oligarchy. If it continues, demagogues will arise. Dictators emerge from demagogues.
Plato

Democracy is the most advanced form of despotism.
Aristotle

I would rather speak and die as I wish than live and talk as they want to.
Socrates
