Audacity of Ideas in the age of Resentment:

Thank the ancient Greeks for giving us the idea. Two thousand and six Hundred years on, trust the modern Greeks for showing the world how to mess up the idea of democracy. Today the “bailout” nation of the Eurozone is up for sale. literally: The cash-starved government is even selling state buildings; and the Emir of Qatar is buying six islands off Ithaca. Amidst the doom, the neo-Nazi party that promises salvation calls itself Golden Dawn. Greece is just one example of how the best form of governance is capable of offering the worst scenario of freedom to a people.

Narendra Modi (Gujarat Chief Minister) on governance:

“Democracy should not just be a five-year contract given to a leader by way of votes. It must be a participative process in which people work with the government to ensure better governance and greater development.”

Government is file, governance is life; Government is all about power, governance is about empowerment.
