“Hence this maxim: that the individual is the best as well as the only judge of his particular interest, and that society has the right to direct his actions only when it feels itself injured by his deed or when it needs to demand his cooperation.”
Alexis De Toqueville, Democracy In America

“The law of partition has reduced all to one level. I do not mean that there is any deficiency of wealthy individuals in the United States. I know of no country, indeed, where the love of money has taken stronger hold on the affections of men, and where the profounder contempt is expressed for the theory of the permanent equality of property.”
Alexis De Toqueville, Democracy In America

“There is so little true independence of mind and freedom of discussion in America. In any constitutional state in Europe, every sort of religious and political theory may be advocated and propagated abroad. For there is no country in Europe so subdued by any single authority as not to contain citizens who are ready to protect the man who raises his voice in the cause of truth.”
