Democracy


 
 
Ἐν δεμοκρατίῃ εἰσὶν τῷ δήμῳ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἐστιν ἄξιος. Κακῶς καὶ ἐμοὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες τῶν ἐστιν ἄξιος.

 

(En demokratíē eisin tô dḗmō hoi árchontes tôn estin áxios. Kakôs kai emoi hoi árchontes tôn estin áxios.)

 

In a democracy, people get the government they deserve. Unfortunately, I get the government they deserve, too.

 

—Woody Allen
