‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.’
「這個充滿罪惡與苦難的世界，曾經嘗試過許多種政府形式，未來也還會繼續嘗試。沒有人會聲稱民主完美無缺、或全知全能。誠如人所言：民主是最糟的制度——除了那些我們已經試過、證明更糟的制度之外。」
— 溫斯頓・S・邱吉爾 Winston S. Churchill, 11 November 1947
