Hillary Clinton Democracy Quotations

The worst thing that can happen in a democracy - as well as in an individual's life - is to become cynical about the future and lose hope.

Democracy can't be just for billionaires and corporations.

I care deeply about women's rights. I have been an outspoken advocate for them for many years and as secretary of state I carried that message around the world because empowering women, providing for women's rights, their full participation in society, politics, the economy is not only a matter of individuals being able to chart their own futures. It's good for democracy and it's good for peace and prosperity.

I've always thought that the role of citizen, the role of advocate, were as important in our democracy as running for office.

The public trust is at the core of both a free market economy and a democracy.

I support our democracy. And sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

Our democracy has been around far longer than European democracy.

Donald Trump's talking down our democracy. And I, for one, am appalled that somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position.

There cannot be true democracy unless women's voices are heard.

We want to lead by our values and out interests in ways that, regardless of the trajectory over the next decade, people will know the United States was on the side of democracy, on the side of the rule of law.

We are here to advance the cause of women and to advance the cause of democracy and to make it absolutely clear that the two are inseparable.

I've never understood multi-party democracy. It's hard enough with two parties.

Democracies have to be careful that they do not become so process-driven.

Democracy is still a radical idea in a world where we often confuse images with realities, words with actions.

There cannot be true democracy unless all citizens are able to participate fully in the lives of their country.

Prosperity can't be just for CEOs and hedge fund managers. Democracy can't be just for billionaires and corporations. Prosperity and democracy are part of your basic bargain, too.
