These various remedies, eugenic, educational, ethical, populist and socialist, all assume that either the voters are inherently competent to direct the course of affairs or that they are making progress towards such an ideal. I think [democracy] is a false ideal.
- Walter Lippmann
But if we are talking in terms of making progress in life, we must understand that "good enough" is very different from "best.
- Paulo Coelho
