"In no other country in the world is the love of property keener or more alert than in the United States, and nowhere else does the majority display less inclination toward doctrines which in any way threaten the way property is owned." — Alexis de Tocqueville, __Democracy in America__. 1836.



"When the love of property [becomes] so restless and so ardent, I cannot but fear that men may arrive at such a state as to regard every new theory as a peril, every innovation as an irksome toil… and so refuse to move altogether for fear of being moved too far. ...Man will waste his strength in bootless and solitary trifling and, though in continual motion, humanity will cease to advance." — Alexis de Tocqueville, __Democracy in America__. 1836

"They were careless people... they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness, or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made." —F. Scott Fitzgerald, __The Great Gatsby__**.**
