Democracies do not go to war. War is not our expression of thought.

Asif Ali Zardari

Democracies don't war; democracies are peaceful countries.

George W. Bush

We have to realize that science is a double-edged sword. One edge of the sword can cut against poverty, illness, disease and give us more democracies, and democracies never war with other democracies, but the other side of the sword could give us nuclear proliferation, biogerms and even forces of darkness.

Michio Kaku

Democracies are notorious for a tendency to obey the feelings rather than the mind; thus the nature of democracies often makes itdifficult to conclude a peace after a hard-won war. Generous victors are rare.

Amos Elon

Democracies are slow to anger and hesitant to go to war: Voters don't want to sacrifice their children for the glory of a selfish king.

Michio Kaku

I believe that democracies do not go to war; that's the lesson of history, and I think that a democratic Pakistan is the world community's best guarantee of stability in Asia.

Benazir Bhutto

The stakes are geopolitical in nature and I believe that democracies are - people want to live in free societies, democracies are the best way to do that, and that if people see democracies in the neighborhood, they'll demand the same thing.

George W. Bush

Democracies don't go to war against each other, and by and large they don't sponsor terrorism. They're more likely to respect the environment and human rights and social justice. It's no accident that most of the terrorists come from non-democratic countries.

William J. Clinton

Democracies are poor breeding grounds for terrorism and war.

Adam Schiff

There are many democracies in our Arab and Islamic countries, but unfortunately, they are all false democracies.

Yusuf al-Qaradawi

We should encourage governments to be sustained by citizens' taxes - that is, democracies. Democracies will be enduring allies of America.

Iqbal Quadir

Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms.

Aristotle

I hate war... for the dictatorships it puts in the place of democracies, and for the starvation that stalks after it.

Harry Emerson Fosdick

It is a law of governance that democracies have to spend themselves dizzy. Citizens of democracies can, after all, tell their government to give them things.

P. J. O'Rourke

Talk loud enough about human rights and it gives the impression of democracy at work, justice at work. There was a time when the United States waged war to topple democracies, because back then democracy was a threat to the Free Market. Countries were nationalising their resources, protecting their markets.... So then, real democracies were being toppled. They were toppled in Iran, they were toppled all across Latin America, Chile.
