The genius of democracies is seen not only in the great number of new words introduced but even more in the new ideas they express.

We succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we possess but we excel in those which can also make use of our defects.

The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.

When American(s) ask for the cooperation of (their) fellow citizens it is seldom refused; and I have often seen it afforded spontaneously and with great good will.

It is the dissimilarities and inequalities among men which give rise to the notion of honor; as such differences become less it grows feeble; and when they disappear it will vanish too.
