Alexis de Tocqueville Quotes About Anxiety

Quotes about: Anxiety

• Life is to be entered upon with courage.

  Alexis de Tocqueville

  Courage, Worry, Anxiety

• There is, indeed, a most dangerous passage in the history of a democratic people. When the taste for physical gratifications among them has grown more rapidly than their education and their experience of free institutions, the time will come when men are carried away and lose all self-restraint at the sight of new possessions they are about to obtain. In their intense and exclusive anxiety to make a fortune they lose sight of the close connection that exists between the private fortune of each and the prosperity of all.

  Alexis de Tocqueville

  Men, Sight, Self

• The French want no-one to be their superior. The English want inferiors. The Frenchman constantly raises his eyes above him with anxiety. The Englishman lowers his beneath him with satisfaction.

  Alexis de Tocqueville

  Eye, Anxiety, Want
