Alexis de Tocqueville Republic Quotations

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

I considered mores to be one of the great general causes responsible for the maintenance of a democratic republic . . . the term "mores" . . . meaning . . . habits of the heart.

I cannot believe that a republic could subsist if the influence of the lawyers in public business did not increase in proportion to the power of the people.

The American Republic will endure, until politicians realize they can bribe the people with their own money.
