If ever America undergoes great revolutions, they will be brought about by the presence of the black race on the soil of the United States - that is to say, they will owe their origin not to the equality but to the inequality of conditions.

It is an axiom of political science in the United States that the sole means of neutralizing the effects of newspapers is to multiply their number.

As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: how much money will it bring in?

America is a country where they have freedom of speech but everyone says the same thing.

Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.

Grant me thirty years of equal division of inheritances and a free press, and I will provide you with a republic.

The more I view the independence of the press in its principal effects, the more I convince myself that among the moderns the independence of the press is the capital and so to speak the constitutive element of freedom.
