"There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle." ― Alexis de Tocqueville Topic(s): Men More From Alexis de Tocqueville "In other words, a democratic government is the only one in which those who vote for a tax can escape the obligation to pay it." "The main business of religions is to purify, control, and restrain that excessive and exclusive taste for well-being which men acquire in times of equality." "The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens." More In Men "Men are more moral than they think and far more immoral than they can imagine."― Sigmund Freud "Men who are unhappy, like men who sleep badly, are always proud of the fact."― Bertrand Russell "Men ought either to be indulged or utterly destroyed, for if you merely offend them they take vengeance, but if you injure them greatly they are unable to retaliate, so that the injury done to a man ought to be such that vengeance cannot be feared."― Niccolo Machiavelli
