Democratic Peace

Famous quotes containing the words democratic and/or peace:

    There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.
    Leon Trotsky (1879–1940)

    Great is my envy of you, earth, in your greed
    Folding her in invisible embrace,
    Denying me the look of the sweet face
    Where I found peace from all my strife at need!
    Petrarch (1304–1374)
