"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 all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." Dal discorso alla Camera dei Comuni, novembre 1947.

(Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, politico, storico, militare; Woodstock, 30 novembre 1874 – Londra, 24 gennaio 1965)
