Quote of the Day (Tocqueville—Part III)
“It is not the use of power or the habit of obedience that depraves men, but the use of power that they consider illegitimate, and obedience to a power they regard as usurped and oppressive.”-- Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America, Volume One, Introduction, translated and edited by Harvey C. Mansfield and Delba Winthrop
