American Quote

AuthorJustin Bathon on DateThursday, November 6, 2008 at 12:27PM

Andrew Sullivan has the quote for the week: 

"The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults," - Alexis de Tocqueville.

If you have not read Tocqueville's Democracy in America, I really encourage you to do so. There are so many valuable insights in that book about our American system, such as the one above. Tocqueville really has an amazing ability to crystalize in language what many of us already intuitively understand but can't articulate.
