"When fortune has been abolished, when every profession……" — Alexis de Tocqueville

"When fortune has been abolished, when every profession is open to everyone, an ambitious man may think it is easy to launch himself on a great career and feel that he has been called to no common destiny. But this is a delusion which experience quickly corrects."
