Alexis de Tocqueville
“There is in fact a manly and legitimate passion for equality that incites men to want to be strong and esteemed. This passion tends to elevate the small to the rank of the great. But in the human heart a depraved taste for equality is also found that leads the weak to want to bring the strong down to their level and that reduces men to preferring equality in servitude to inequality in liberty.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America - Volume 1: The Original 1835 Edition Text
