The Common Vice Of Democracy Is Disregard

Whenever A Single Definite Object Is Made The Supreme End Of The State, Be It The Advantage Of A Class, The Safety Of The Power Of The Country, The Greatest Happiness Of The Greatest Number, Or The Support Of Any Speculative Idea, The State Becomes For The Time Inevitably Absolute. Liberty Alone Demands For Its Realization The Limitation Of The Public Authority, For Liberty Is The Only Object Which Benefits All Alike, And Provokes No Sincere Opposition.

It Is Very Easy To Speak Words Of Wisdom From A Comfortable Distance, When One Sees No Reality, No Details, None Of The Effect On Men's Minds.

Every Class Is Unfit To Govern.

The One Pervading Evil Of Democracy Is The Tyranny Of The Majority, Or Rather Of That Party, Not Always The Majority, That Succeeds, By Force Or Fraud, In Carrying Elections.

A Convinced Man Differs From A Prejudiced Man As An Honest Man From A Liar.
