Paul Keating

You get one chance to do something about native title. You get perhaps one chance in your life to do something about a republic. You get one chance, your chance, to build a piece of the political architecture in the Pacific. I wasn't going to give those up.

Australian Politician

Niccolo Machiavelli

A return to first principles in a republic is sometimes caused by the simple virtues of one man. His good example has such an influence that the good men strive to imitate him, and the wicked are ashamed to lead a life so contrary to his example.

Italian Writer

Craig T. Nelson

I want to see my kids grow up in a world that I grew up in, which was it had imagination and it had hope. And all of a sudden, I see that being dissolved, and I see, as a country, as a people, we are a republic. We are a democracy.

American Actor

Allen West

I'm a conservative because I believe we're here on this earth to do a little more than crawl through life, comfortable in the cradle of government excess and oblivious to the duties required to keep this republic standing.

American Politician

Alain de Botton

There is militaristic-hegemonic-plutocratic side of the U.S. which is getting out of hand and threatens to corrupt the whole republic. I remain a deeply concerned, committed admirer, but also a very worried one.

English Writer

Suharto

We should not allow our republic, which was established with our sacrifice, to disintegrate. This would amount to disrespect for the heroes who sacrificed everything for the Republic of Indonesia.

Indonesian Politician

Aslan Maskhadov

I assure you, it would be much more pleasant for me to be an ordinary voter in peaceful Chechnya than the president of a republic at war.

Chechen Politician

Nicolas Sarkozy

French Statesman

Sebastian Kurz

We view the protection of Jewish life as a mission. We have a historical responsibility, and this is our duty as a republic.

Austrian Politician

Evo Morales

The new republic should be based on diversity, respect and equal rights for all.

Bolivian Statesman

A republic is different from a monarchy; there's no royal family involved in governance.

Beyond Monarchy

In a republic, it's not just about having elections; citizens influence laws and policies.

Public Decision

Republics can be led by elected presidents, councils, or parliamentary representatives.

Leadership Style

A republic with a president means the head of state is elected, not a hereditary monarch.

No Royal Rule

Presidents in republics have different powers; some lead the government, others are symbolic.

Systems Vary

In business, a republic-like structure means departments have self-governing power.

Corporate Autonomy

Business 'republics' divide control, with different branches managing their own affairs.

Independent Branches
