All ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE Quotes about “Enemies”

“Trade is the natural enemy of all violent passions because it loves moderation, delights in compromise an is most careful to avoid anger.”

“I am obliged to confess that I do not regard the abolition of slavery as a means of warding off the struggle of the two races in the Southern states. The Negroes may long remain slaves without complaining; but if they are once raised to the level of freemen, they will soon revolt at being deprived of almost all their civil rights; and as they cannot become the equals of the whites, they will speedily show themselves as enemies.”
“Men will not receive the truth from their enemies, and it is seldom offered to them by their friends.”
