Alexis de Tocqueville
Evil, Energy, Enough
Alexis de Tocqueville (1836). “A Review of M. De Tocqueville's Work on Democracy in America ...”, p.10

The world belongs to those with the most energy.

Alexis de Tocqueville
Energy, World

Nothing is quite so wretchedly corrupt as an aristocracy which has lost its power but kept its wealth and which still has endless leisure to devote to nothing but banal enjoyments. All its great thoughts and passionate energy are things of the past, and nothing but a host of petty, gnawing vices now cling to it like worms to a corpse.

Alexis de Tocqueville
Past, Vices, Energy
"Democracy in America". Book by Alexis de Tocqueville, Volume II. Book Three, Chapter XI, 1840.
