This will help you understand some of the negative democracy quotes and references to “Republic” you’ll find here.

We’ve allowed the positive democracy quotes to remain, understanding that the people uttering them are simply confused about what democracy really means. The positive concepts they’re referring to will happen once we’re restored back to the original Republic.

Democracy Quotes

"Did you, too, O friend, suppose democracy was only for elections, for politics, and for a party name? I say democracy is only of use there that it may pass on and come to its flower and fruit in manners, in the highest forms of interaction between [people], and their beliefs - in religion, literature, colleges and schools - democracy in all public and private life."
- Walt Whitman

Quotes on Democracy

“Democracy: A government of the masses. Authority derived through mass meeting or any form of ‘direct' expression. Results in mobocracy. Attitude towards laws is that the will of the majority shall regulate, whether it is based upon deliberation or governed by passion, prejudice or impulse, without restraint or regard to consequences. Results in demagogism, license, agitation, discontent, anarchy.”
- 1928 Army training manual

- Thomas Jefferson

Quotes on Democracy

"At no time, at no place, in solemn convention assembled, through no chosen agents, had the American people officially proclaimed the United States to be a democracy. The Constitution did not contain the word or any word lending countenance to it, except possibly the mention of ‘We the people,' in the preamble ... When the Constitution was framed, no respectable person called himself a democrat."
- Charles & Mary Beard

Democracy Quotes

"The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment."

Quotes on Democracy

"Real liberty is neither found in despotism or the extremes of democracy, but in moderate government."
- Alexander Hamilton

Democracy Quotes

"The common people feel themselves oppressed by the grasping of some, and their vanity is flattered by others. Fired with evil passions, they are no longer willing to submit to control, but demand that everything be subject to their authority. The invariable result is that government assumes the noble names of free and popular, but becomes in fact the most execrable thing, mob rule."
- Polybius, 126 B.C.

Quotes on Democracy

"The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colors breaking through."
- Alexis de Tocqueville

Quotes on Democracy

"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."
- C.S. Lewis

Democracy Quotes

"The evils we experience flow from the excess of democracy. The people do not want virtue, but are the dupes of pretended patriots."
- Elbridge Gerry

Quotes on Democracy

"The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a democracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it."

Quotes on Democracy

"...democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security, or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths."
- James Madison

Quotes on Democracy

"Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve."
- George Bernard Shaw

Democracy Quotes

"As democracy is perfected, the office represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. We move toward a lofty ideal. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their hearts desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron."
- H.L. Mencken

Quotes on Democracy

"It has been observed that a pure democracy, if it were practicable, would be the most perfect government. Experience has proved that no position is more false than this. The ancient democracies, in which the people themselves deliberated, never possessed one feature of good government. Their very character was tyranny: their figure deformity."
- Alexander Hamilton

Quotes on Democracy

"We are not afraid to entrust the American people with unpleasant facts, foreign ideas, alien philosophies, and competitive values. For a nation that is afraid to let its people judge the truth and falsehood in an open market is a nation that is afraid of its people."
- John F. Kennedy

Democracy Quotes

"A good politician under democracy is quite as unthinkable as an honest burglar."
- H.L. Mencken

- Oscar Wilde

- Sydney J. Harris

"We are now forming a Republican form of government. Real Liberty is not found in the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments. If we incline too much to democracy, we shall soon shoot into a monarchy, or some other form of dictatorship."
- Alexander Hamilton

Quotes on Democracy

"Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos."
- John Marshall, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
