- George W. Bush

About this Quote

The quote by George W. Bush, "You can't put democracy and freedom back into a box," recommends that once people are exposed to the concepts of democracy and flexibility, it is difficult, if not impossible, to revert back to an authoritarian or undemocratic regime. The metaphorical "box" represents the restrictions that might have previously restricted people's access to democratic ideals. Once people have actually experienced the advantages of democratic procedures or enjoyed individual freedoms, it is not likely that they will willingly provide up. Thus, this declaration highlights the significance of preserving and protecting democratic values and freedoms, as once they are granted they end up being vital to individuals and society as a whole.
