“Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers.”
“In every well-governed state, wealth is a sacred thing; in democracies it is the only sacred thing”
Anatole France

Will Rogers
“It's understandable and natural that democracies like India and the US come closer. One can also argue in favor of the pact on nuclear power sealed during President Bush's visit. … Still, the matter is somewhat disturbing. India has not signed the NPT. Now signals are being sent that, in the final analysis, threaten all the work done to prevent the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. … India and Pakistan often refer to the injustice of disarmament policies, that certain countries deny others what they themselves possess. … Now, at worst, history could repeat itself.”
