Americans are so enamored of equality, they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom. — Alexis De Tocqueville. French diplomat, political philosopher and historian (1805–1859) America, Freedom
Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word, equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude.
The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.
There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it.
There is hardly a political question in the United States which does not sooner or later turn into a judicial one.
