“The United States is regarded by people everywhere as a dream come true, a sort of world state in miniature. Here dwell the world's emigrants under one law, and the law is: Thou shalt not push thy neighbor around. By some curious divinity which in him lies, Man, in this experiment of mixed races and mixed creeds, has turned out more good than bad, more right than wrong, more kind than cruel, and more sinned against than sinning. This is the world's hope and its chance.” GovernmentAmericaLawHopeUnited StatesDiversityUsaUnited States Of AmericaUs Book:The Wild Flag: Editorials from the New Yorker on Federal World Government and Other Matters Source: The Wild Flag: Editorials from the New Yorker on Federal World Government and Other Matters
“Democracy is the recurrent suspicion that more than half of the people are right more than half of the time. It is the feeling of privacy in the voting booths, the feeling of communion in the libraries, the feeling of vitality everywhere. Democracy is a letter to the editor. Democracy is the score at the beginning of the ninth. It is an idea which hasn't been disproved yet, a song the words of which have not gone bad. It's the mustard on the hot dog and the cream in the rationed coffee. Democracy is a request from a War Board, in the middle of a morning in the middle of a war, wanting to know what democracy is.” AmericaFreedomDemocracyMeaning Of Democracy Book:On Democracy Source: On Democracy
