"The American principle of the sovereignty of the people, when it is fully developed, will lead to a species of legal despotism."
"The Americans are a people who are always in motion, always changing, always seeking something new."
"The most dangerous moment for a bad government is generally when it begins to reform itself."
"I do not know whether the Americans have a good or a bad government; but I know that they have a very strong government."
"I have always thought that there was something more dangerous than despotism, and that was servitude voluntarily endured."
