“De Tocqueville and Lord Acton speak with one voice on this subject. “Democracy and socialism,” De Tocqueville wrote, “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.”30 And Acton joined him in believing that “the deepest cause which made the French revolution so disastrous to liberty was its theory of equality”31 and that “the finest opportunity ever given to the world was thrown away, because the passion for equality made vain the hope for freedom.”32”

“To be strong is not necessarily to be tough. It’s to be tender for and with the people that God has placed in your life. It is to make yourself vulnerable. It is to expose yourself to great pain and great discomfort for the benefit of the ones whom God has placed in your life. That’s what it means to be a man.”
