Additional quotes by Alexis de Tocqueville

The principle of equality does not destroy the imagination, but lowers its flight to the level of the earth.

In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned.

The more alike men are, the weaker each feels in the face of all.

The happy and powerful do not go into exile, and there are no surer guarantees of equality among men than poverty and misfortune. - Alexis de Tocqueville
