"It must not be forgotten that it is……" — Alexis de Tocqueville

"It must not be forgotten that it is especially dangerous to enslave men in the minor details of life. For my part, I should be inclined to think freedom less necessary in the great things than in the little ones, if it were possible to be secure of the one without the other."

— Alexis de Tocqueville
