Posts where this quotation is embeddedDemocracy is a tough way to live. With all its flaws, I think it beats the alternatives.
I do not wish to have someone else, no matter how educated, well-intentioned, wealthy, or wise, decide unilaterally what is best for me.
Unless we are deeply involved in our work, we cannot feel good about ourselves.
Unless we work with others toward valued goals, we cannot infuse hope and aspiration into our lives.
Unless we treat one another as equals, we cannot find dignity, meaning, and community in work.
Unless we make our own mistakes and learn to forgive ourselves, we cannot learn at all.
Unless we cooperate we cannot survive.
