Science and democracy are the right and left hands of what I'll refer to as the move from the realm of necessity to the realm of freedom.

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.

The spirit of democracy is not a mechanical thing to be adjusted by abolition of forms. It requires change of heart.

Democracy and violence can ill go together. Evolution of democracy is not possible if we are not prepared to hear the other side.

Democracy is not a state in which people act like sheep.

In a democracy, the well-being, individuality and happiness of every citizen is important for the overall prosperity, peace and happiness of the nation.
