Anywhere anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose the choice is the same: freedom not tyranny democracy not dictatorship the rule of law not the rule of the secret police.

True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.

Dictators and oppressors should continue to fear me because I will be here for a long time.

The best weapon of a dictatorship is secrecy but the best weapon of a democracy should be the weapon of openness.

It has been claimed at times that our modern age of technology facilitates dictatorship.
