Alexis de Tocqueville

In politics shared hatreds are almost always the basis of friendships.

When the past no longer illuminates the future, the spirit walks in darkness.

The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democratic paint, but from time to time one can see the old aristocratic colours breaking through.

It is often in the name of cultural integrity as well as social stability and national security that democratic reforms based on human rights are resisted by authoritarian governments.

America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.

Everything that I will ever accomplish, I owe to God, to my parent's sacrifices, and to the United States of America.
