Demand no more out of your partner than what you are willing to give yourself.

Demand the ballot as the undeniable right of every man who is called to the poll, and take special care that the old constitutional rule and principle, by which majorities alone shall decide in Parliamentary elections, shall not be violated.
‐‐ John Bright
Demands for equal financing of sewers, streets, and garbage collection would make more sense than proposals for equal financing of the schools, since some plausible connection may be inferred between the amount of money expended, e.g., for roads, and the quality of service resulting to the taxpayer.
‐‐ M. Stanton Evans
Demands for equality for women are threats to men's self-esteem and sense of sexual turf.
‐‐ Alice S. Rossi
Demands for solidarity can quickly turn into demands for groupthink, making it difficult to express nuance.
‐‐ Roxane Gay
Demeanor-wise, Reagan was a conservative, but a pragmatic conservative, and he found silver linings in things. He liked to be a mediator. He didn't like to have enemies around him.

Dementia is, after all, a symptom of organic brain damage. It is a condition, a disorder of the central nervous system, brought about in my case by a viral assault on brain tissue. When the assault wiped out certain intellectual processes, it also affected emotional processes.
‐‐ Floyd Skloot
Dementia is not exclusively a problem of the developed world.
‐‐ Julie Bishop
Dementia is often regarded as an embarrassing condition that should be hushed up and not spoken about. But I feel passionately that more needs to be done to raise awareness, which is why I became an ambassador for the Alzheimer's Society.
‐‐ Kevin Whately
Dementia is our most-feared illness, more than heart disease or cancer.
‐‐ David Perlmutter
Dementia is quite unlike cancer or heart disease or any of those other conditions where you bargain with God for a cure or even just a bit more time.
‐‐ Laurie Graham
Dementia resembles delirium in the same way an ultra-marathon resembles a dash across the street. Same basic components, vastly different scale. If you've run delirium's course once or twice in your life, try to imagine a version that never ends.

Demetrie came to wait on my grandmother in 1955 and stayed for 32 years. It was common, in Mississippi, to have a black domestic cleaning the kitchen, cooking the meals, looking after the white children.

Demi Moore is a terrific woman and a hell of an actress.
‐‐ Mark Goddard
Demi Moore is an extremely sexy woman. Melanie Griffith, Annette Bening - these are all brave women. They've all managed to have kids and still be sexy. If anything, being a mom makes them even sexier.
‐‐ Lesli Linka Glatter
Democracies are expense-averse and they think in terms of short-term, political interests rather than a long-term interest in stability.
‐‐ Samantha Power
Democracies are indeed slow to make war, but once embarked upon a martial venture are equally slow to make peace and reluctant to make a tolerable, rather than a vindictive, peace.
‐‐ Reinhold Niebuhr
Democracies are poor breeding grounds for terrorism and war.
‐‐ Adam Schiff
Democracies can't handle austerity measures very well.
‐‐ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Democracies do not go to war. War is not our expression of thought.
‐‐ Asif Ali Zardari
Democracies domesticate religious groups to become political players. That's how it works.
‐‐ Ian Lustick
Democracies don't fight each other. Terrorists don't tend to come from places where they feel like they have recourse in a political system.
‐‐ Evan McMullin
Democracies have to be careful that they do not become so process-driven.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
Democracies must have equilibrium... and the entanglement of politics and information must be minimized.
‐‐ Romano Prodi
Democracies succeed or fail based on their journalism.
‐‐ Scott Pelley
Democracies take time.
‐‐ Eli Yishai
Democracies, unlike dictatorships, are forgiving and generous, but they cannot survive unless they fight.
‐‐ Jalal Talabani
Democracy actually requires that the whole public be able to see common problems and address them and step outside of their own sort of narrow self-interest to do so.
‐‐ Eli Pariser
Democracy allows rhetoric, false empathy and emotion to pummel rational thinking - so it's no wonder so many politicians thrive in it.
‐‐ David Harsanyi
Democracy and socialism are means to an end, not the end itself.
‐‐ Jawaharlal Nehru
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
‐‐ Alexis de Tocqueville
Democracy arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.
‐‐ Aristotle
Democracy as a promise means that society can never be just enough and that the self-reflection and struggles that enable all members of the community to participate in the decisions and institutions that shape their lives must be continually debated, safeguarded, and preserved at all costs.
‐‐ Henry Giroux
Democracy as a system has evolved into something that Thomas Jefferson didn't anticipate.
‐‐ Hunter S. Thompson
Democracy, as has been said of Christianity, has never really been tried.
‐‐ Stuart Chase
Democracy! Bah! When I hear that I reach for my feather boa!
‐‐ Allen Ginsberg
Democracy belongs to those who exercise it.
‐‐ Bill Moyers
Democracy can only spring from practising it early, and democratic action was not to expected from young people brought up under a close authoritarian system.
‐‐ Dora Russell
Democracy can tie your hands in a rock 'n' roll band, you know? It can be a great thing, but if you've got a certain amount of vision and you write a lot of songs, it's sometimes better to have your own band and make your own decisions.
‐‐ Jason Isbell
Democracy cannot be a plaything for the capital cities. It has to infiltrate every nook and cranny in the country, including the village.
‐‐ Meles Zenawi
Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.
‐‐ Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democracy cannot survive without the guidance of a creative minority.
‐‐ Harlan Stone
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear.
‐‐ Alan Coren
Democracy demands that judges confine themselves to a narrow sphere of influence - that is why the late Alexander Bickel called the judiciary the 'Least Dangerous Branch.' In a world governed by a proper conception of their role, judges don't play at being legislators - they leave that job to our elected representatives.
‐‐ Edwin Meese
Democracy demands trust. It demands that sense of mutual understanding. And - it's a two way street. You've got to give - as much as you take.
‐‐ Charles Kennedy
Democracy derailed is democracy denied.
‐‐ Chaka Fattah
Democracy, despite its limitations, is in the end the only way to ensure that policies do not simply benefit the privileged few.
‐‐ Ha-Joon Chang
Democracy divides people into workers and loafers. It makes no provision for those who have no time to work.
‐‐ Karl Kraus
Democracy does not guarantee equality of conditions - it only guarantees equality of opportunity.
