Political Quotes
-
Democracy, taken in its narrower, purely political, sense, suffers from the fact that those in economic and political power possess the means for molding public opinion to serve their own class interests.

Everything depends ultimately on the political and moral qualities of the citizenry.
Albert Einstein
