Alexis de Tocqueville Quotes
I think that democratic communities have a natural taste for freedom: left to themselves, they will seek it, cherish it, and view any privation of it with regret.

Oh, Constellations of the early night
That sparkled brighter as the twilight died,
And made the darkness glorious! I have seen
Your rays grow dim upon the horizon's edge
And sink behind the mountains. I have seen

That large-limbed warrior of the skies, go down
Into the gloom. Beside him sank a crowd
Of shining ones.
