More from Alexis de Tocqueville
"The American people are a people who are very fond of comfort, and they are not always very fond of liberty."
"It is difficult to imagine how many of those who love liberty, and who sincerely desire it, are yet ready to give it up at the first alarm."
"I have always thought that there was something more dangerous than despotism, and that was servitude voluntarily endured."
"The American democracy is a very imperfect democracy, but it is the best that the world has ever seen."
"Slavery, which is so cruel to the slave, is prejudicial to the master, and democracy, which is so favorable to the freedom of all citizens, is destructive of the independence of the individual."
