It Is A Besetting Vice Of Democracies

The Very Existence Of Government At All, Infers Inequality. The Citizen Who Is Preferred To Office Becomes The Superior Of Those Who Are Not, So Long He Is The Repository Of Power.

Individuality Is The Aim Of Political Liberty. By Leaving To The Citizen As Much Freedom Of Action And Of Being As Comports With Order And The Rights Of Others, The Institutions Render Him Truly A Freeman. He Is Left To Pursue His Means Of Happiness In His Own Manner.

The Flesh Is Sweeter, Where The Creature Has Some Chance For Its Life; For That Reason, I Always Use A Single Ball, Even If It Be At A Bird Or A Squirrel; Besides, It Saves Lead, For, When A Body Knows How To Shoot, One Piece Of Lead Is Enough For All, Except Hard-lived Animals.

The Vulgar Charge That The Tendency Of Democracies Is To Leveling, Meaning To Drag All Down To The Level Of The Lowest, Is Singularly Untrue; Its Real Tendency Being To Elevate The Depressed To A Condition Not Unworthy Of Their Manhood.

The Ability To Discriminate Between That Which Is True And That Which Is False Is One Of The Last Attainments Of The Human Mind.
