• Hoy el camino de la dictadura total en los Estados Unidos puede ser trazado por medios estrictamente legales, sin ser vistos ni oídos por el Congreso, el Presidente o el pueblo.

• Tampoco debemos olvidar el término medio, que en la actualidad se pierde de vista en las formas pervertidas de gobierno; pues muchas prácticas que parecen democráticas son la ruina de las democracias, . Los que piensan que toda la virtud se encuentra en los principios de su propio partido llevan las cosas a los extremos; no consideran que la desproporción destruye un Estado.

• Democracy is no easy form of government. Few nations have been able to sustain it. For it requires that we take the chances of freedom; that the liberating play of reason be brought to bear on events filled with passion; that dissent be allowed to make its appeal for acceptance; that men chance error in their search for the truth.

• In the many forms of government which have sprung up there has always been an acknowledgement of justice and proportionate equality, although mankind fail in attaining them, as indeed I have already explained. Democracy, for example, arises out of the notion that those who are equal in any respect are equal in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim to be absolutely equal.

• Bring on those tired, labor-plagued, competition-weary companies and ESOP will breathe new life into them. They will find ESOP better than Geritol. It will revitalize what is wrong with capitalism. It will increase productivity. It will improve labor relations. It will promote economic justice. It will save the economic system. It will make our form of government and our concept of freedom prevail over those who don't agree with us.

• ¡Qué cambios tan asombrosos son capaces de producir unos pocos años! Me dicen que incluso personajes respetables hablan de una forma monárquica de gobierno sin horror. De pensar se pasa a hablar, y de ahí a actuar no hay a menudo más que un paso. Pero, ¡qué irrevocable y tremendo! ¡Qué triunfo para los defensores del despotismo descubrir que somos incapaces de gobernarnos a nosotros mismos, y que los sistemas fundados sobre la base de la igualdad de libertades son meramente ideales y falaces! Quiera Dios que se tomen a tiempo medidas sabias para evitar las consecuencias que tenemos demasiados motivos para presentir.

• When we have run through all forms of government, without partiality to that we were born under, we are at a loss with which to side; they are all a compound of good and evil. It is therefore most reasonable and safe to value that of our own country above all others, and to submit to it.

• That which most contributes to the permanence of constitutions is the adaptation of education to the form of government, and yet in our own day this principle is universally neglected. The best laws, though sanctioned by every citizen of the state, will be of no avail unless the young are trained by habit and education in the spirit of the constitution.

• Democracy appears to be safer and less liable to revolution than oligarchy. For in oligarchies there is the double danger of the oligarchs falling out among themselves and also with the people; but in democracies there is only the danger of a quarrel with the oligarchs. No dissension worth mentioning arises among the people themselves. And we may further remark that a government which is composed of the middle class more nearly approximates to democracy than to oligarchy, and is the safest of the imperfect forms of government.

• The true forms of government, therefore, are those in which the one, or the few, or the many, govern with a view to the common interest; but governments which rule with a view to the private interest, whether of the one or of the few, or of the many, are perversions. For the members of a state, if they are truly citizens, ought to participate in its advantages.
