A French political philosopher and politician, Alexis de Tocqueville's works are now considered early examples of sociology and political science. They include many of his famous insights, such as 'Nothing is more wonderful than the art of being free, but nothing is harder to learn how to use than freedom.' and 'There are two things which a democratic people will always find very difficult - to begin a war and to end it.' A carefully selected collection that contains 100 of Tocqueville's most celebrated quotes, this book will delight those interested in the musings of one of the most notable French political philosophers.
