Time to End Democracy: The Meritocratic Manifesto Quotes

“Humanizing Democracy (A Sonnet) Dictatorship is rule of the cunning, Democracy is rule of the halfwits. Both are quite degrading for society, Cause neither of them is born of merits. Progress requires practice of reason, Immersed in a whole lot of love. But when the people prefer indifference, Society regresses down the savage curve. Character is the foundation of civilization, Yet that character is taken for granted. All talk and no walk has made us shallow, Separatism has made our soul tainted. So it’s time we feed values into democracy, While abolishing all populist fallacy.”

“You may think you are little and insignificant, but look at the bees - one little bee can make a giant human jump up and down in agony with its almost invisible sting and it can also bestow health upon a person with its sweet, nourishing nectar. Appearance means nothing, for potential is immeasurable.”

“Character means everything that is human about you… Character means a sense of community - character means a desire for learning and growth - character means the guts to admit and mend one's own errors and shortcomings - character means the yearning for assimilation.”

“I am nameless, I am timeless, I am deathless, for I am the indestructible force of humanhood, and one biological vessel isn't enough for the fulfillment of this force, it'll continue to fasten onto every potential vessel through time till all traces of divisiveness and superstition are abolished from the world.”

“In today’s society the very humanity of a person is determined based on their nationality, race, religion, political affiliation, gender, sexuality and so on - as if, humanity is so puny that it could be packaged and labeled with the stale identities of society!”

“One day all walls of religion, nation and culture will vanish and all that will remain is a simple sense of universal humanity. In that time and age, human actions will be guided by observation and compassion and not by imagination and insecurity.”

“Sisters and brothers of my world, I do not believe in universal acceptance, for I am the very embodiment of universal acceptance. The river doesn't believe in the life-giving powers of its water - the sun doesn't believe in the warmth-giving powers of its rays - the wind doesn't believe in the soothing powers of its breeze. Belief implies an absence of proof, but acceptance is beyond proof. You do not believe that you need oxygen to live, likewise, you do not believe in universal acceptance, for without it, the very fabric of civilization will wither.”
