A daily thought for democracy

Mahe and Covert offer 365 quotes, one for each day of the year. Each month has a theme, for example January's Roots & Wings being us quotes from The Iroquois Nations, Early American Statesmen and ancient Greeks, among other formulators of Democracy. The other themes are Courage; Every Voice; Out of the Many, One; Interdependence; Emergence; Spirit Within; Love in Action; Creativity; Right Relationship; Cooperation and Agents of Change. The quotes range from ancient wisdom to the thoughts of modern philosophers, pundits and ordinary people. My only complaint is that so many of the quotes are one liners. I would like more meaty thoughts to take into each day... I can't just read one!
