"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 "I cannot help fearing that men may reach a point where they look on every new theory as a danger, every innovation as a toilsome trouble, every social advance as a first step toward revolution, and that they may absolutely refuse to move at all." "What is most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class." "There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult – to begin a war and to end it."

But it is the youth that must fight and die."― Herbert Hoover "What is the most beautiful in virile men is something feminine; what is most beautiful in feminine women is something masculine."― Susan Sontag
