"The experience of democracy is like the experience of life itself-always changing, infinite in its variety, sometimes turbulent and all the more valuable for having been tested by adversity"

- Jimmy Carter

About this Quote

Just like life, democracy can be unforeseeable and sometimes rough. Nevertheless, Carter thinks that these obstacles and hardships just make it more valuable. Simply as an individual grows and gains from dealing with troubles, a democracy likewise ends up being more powerful and more durable when tested.
