"Americans are so enamored of equality that they……" — Alexis de Tocqueville

"Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.... The subjection of individuals will increase amongst democratic nations, not only in the same proportion as their equality, but in the same proportion as their ignorance."

Alexis de Tocqueville
