Quote by Alexis De Tocqueville (1805-1859)

• There is hardly a political question in the United States which does not sooner or later turn into a judicial one.

• The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

• America is great because she is good. If America ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.

• 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.

• In politics shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.

• There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it.
