Talk:Alexis de Tocqueville

The alleged quote "Democracy and socialism..." does not occur in "Democracy in America" The word socialism does not occur.

erroneous Tocqueville quote
"It's not an endlessly expanding list of rights -- the 'right' to education, the 'right' to health care, the 'right' to food and housing. That's not freedom, that's dependency. Those aren't rights, those are the rations of slavery -- hay and a barn for human cattle." From P. J. O'Rourke, at a May 6, 1993 gala dinner celebrating the opening of the Cato Institute's new headquarters in Washington. See http://www.firearmsandliberty.com/liberty.manifesto.html

"America is great because she is good"
Although I'm pretty certain that this is not from De Tocqueville, we can trace it further back than 1941 via Google Book Search. For example, this one from 1930. There's also a 1928 speech by Senator Henry F. Ashurst where the New York Times quotes him as saying "When America ceases to be good America will cease to be great," but it's not clear if he is citing de Tocqueville.

There's an earlier version of the quote that goes back to at least 1886. In Madison Clinton Peters' book Empty Pews & Selections from Other Sermons on Timely Topics, there's this: Some years ago, De Tochneville, the distinguished French statesman, was commissioned by his country for the purpose of studying the genius of our institutions. In reporting to the French Senate, he said: “I went at your bidding, and passed along their thoroughfares of trade. I ascended their mountains and went down their valleys. I visited their manufactories, their commercial markets, and emporiums of trade. I entered their judicial courts and legislative halls. But I sought everywhere in vain for the secret of their success, until I entered the church. It was there, as I listened to the soul-equalizing and soul- elevating principles of the Gospel of Christ, as they fell from Sabbath to Sabbath upon the masses of the people, that I learned why America was great and free, and why France was a slave.”

He misspelled de Tocqueville, but it's spelled correctly in this 1888 item from Manual of the Methodist Episcopal Church.

KHirsch 05:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Now I can find version 2 of the quote all the way back to September, 1922. KHirsch 04:52, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

One thing I noted is that The Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers attributes this quote “Antedating our history, possessing and illumining the hearts of the founders of liberty in our free land, and constantly exerting the soul-equalizing and soul-elevating principles of the gospel of Christ as they fall from Sabbath to Sabbath on the masses of the people, the Christian church stands before all men as the pillar and ground of civil liberty in the world.” to W. H. Perrine, who died in 1881.

Unsourced
Wikiquote no longer allows unsourced quotations, and they are in process of being removed from our pages (see Wikiquote:Limits on quotations); but if you can provide a reliable and precise source for any quote on this list please move it to Alexis de Tocqueville. --Antiquary 20:47, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

 * The health of a democratic society may be measured by the quality of functions performed by private citizens.

 * There are many men of principle in both parties in America, but there is no party of principle.

 * What is the most important for democracy is not that great fortunes should not exist, but that great fortunes should not remain in the same hands. In that way there are rich men, but they do not form a class.

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

 * Those that despise people will never get the best out of others and themselves.

 * We succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we possess, but we excel in those which can also make use of our defects.

 * It is easier for the world to accept a simple lie than a complex truth.

 * Life is to be entered upon with courage.

 * However energetically society in general may strive to make all the citizens equal and alike, the personal pride of each individual will always make him try to escape from the common level, and he will form some inequality somewhere to his own profit.

'''=> engl. please'''
 * C'est une chose étrange de voir avec quelle sorte d'ardeur fébrile les Américains poursuivent le bien-être, et comme ils se montrent tourmentés sans cesse par une crainte vague de n'avoir pas choisi la route la plus courte qui peut y conduire, L'habitant des États-Unis s'attache aux biens de ce monde, comme s'il était assuré de ne point mourir, et il met tant de précipitation à saisir ceux qui passent a sa portée, qu'on dirait qu'il craint à chaque instant de cesser de vivre avant d'en avoir joui. [...]La mort survient enfin et elle l'arrête avant qu'il se soit lassé de cette poursuite inutile d'une félicité complète qui fuit toujours.

... And similarly (*formerly just below first Democracy in America heading):

 * God does not need to speak for himself in order for us to discover definitive signs of his will; it is enough to examine the normal course of nature and the consistent tendency of events. I know without needing to hear the voice of the Creator that the stars trace out in space the orbits which his hand has drawn.
 * Original text: Il n’est pas nécessaire que Dieu parle lui-même pour que nous découvrions des signes certains de sa volonté; il suffit d’examiner quelle est la marche habituelle de la nature et la tendance continue des événements; je sais, sans que le Créateur élève la voix, que les astres suivent dans l’espace les courbes que son doigt a tracées.
 * Introduction

 * If a [democratic] society displays less brilliance than an aristocracy, there will also be less wretchedness; pleasures will be less outrageous and wellbeing will be shared by all; the sciences will be on a smaller scale but ignorance will be less common; opinions will be less vigorous and habits gentler; you will notice more vices and fewer crimes.
 * Original text: [...] si l'on y rencontre moins d'éclat qu'au sein d'une aristocratie, on y trouvera moins de misères; les jouissances y seront moins extrêmes, et le bien-être plus général; les sciences moins grandes, et l'ignorance plus rare; les sentiments moins énergiques, et les habitudes plus douces; on y remarquera plus de vices et moins de crimes.
 * Introduction.

 * By the side of these religious men I discern others whose looks are turned to the earth more than to Heaven; they are the partisans of liberty, not only as the source of the noblest virtues, but more especially as the root of all solid advantages; and they sincerely desire to extend its sway, and to impart its blessings to mankind. It is natural that they should hasten to invoke the assistance of religion, for they must know that liberty cannot be established without morality, nor morality without faith; but they have seen religion in the ranks of their adversaries, and they inquire no further; some of them attack it openly, and the remainder are afraid to defend it.
 * Original text: À côté de ces hommes religieux, j'en découvre d'autres dont les regards sont tournés vers la terre plutôt que vers le ciel; partisans de la liberté, non seulement parce qu'ils voient en elle l'origine des plus nobles vertus, mais surtout parce qu'ils la considèrent comme la source des plus grands biens, ils désirent sincèrement assurer son empire et faire goûter aux hommes ses bienfaits : je comprends que ceux-là vont se hâter d'appeler la religion à leur aide, car ils doivent savoir qu'on ne peut établir le règne de la liberté sans celui des mœurs, ni fonder les mœurs sans les croyances; mais ils ont aperçu la religion dans les rangs de leurs adversaires, c'en est assez pour eux : les uns l'attaquent, et les autres n'osent la défendre.
 * Introduction.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Comoesta. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Comoesta~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:20, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Dōgen

Dōgen (道元; also Dōgen Kigen 道元希玄, Eihei Dōgen 永平道元, titled as Dōgen Zenji [Zen Master Dōgen] 道元禅師) (19 January 1200 – 22 September 1253) was a Japanese Zen Buddhist priest, writer, poet, philosopher born in Kyōto, and the founder of the Sōtō school of Zen in Japan.

Quotes

 * To study the Buddha way is to study oneself. To study oneself is to forget oneself. To forget oneself is to be enlightened by the myriad dharmas. To be enlightened by the myriad dharmas is to bring about the dropping away of body and mind of both oneself and others. The traces of enlightenment come to an end, and this traceless enlightenment is continued endlessly. When a person starts to search out the dharma, he separates himself far from the dharma. When the dharma has already been rightly transmitted in oneself, just then one is one's original self.
 * Fascicle 1 (Genjokoan) of Shobogenzo, trans. Paul Jaffe (1996), in Yasutani, Flowers Fall (Boston: Shambhala), 101-107.

 * Coming, going, the waterbirds don't leave a trace don't follow a path.
 * As quoted in The Enlightened Heart : An Anthology of Sacred Poetry (1989) by Stephen Mitchell, p. 50

 * But do not ask me where I am going, As I travel in this limitless world, Where every step I take is my home.
 * As translated in The Zen Poetry of Dōgen : Verses from the Mountain of Eternal Peace (1997) by Steven Heine, p. 61

 * As I study both the exoteric and the esoteric schools of Buddhism, they maintain that human beings are endowed with Dharma-nature by birth. If this is the case, why did the Buddhas of all ages — undoubtedly in possession of enlightenment — find it necessary to seek enlightenment and engage in spiritual practice?
 * As quoted in Eihei Dogen, Mystical Realist (2004) by Hee-jin Kim

 * The primordial Buddhas are saying,
 * "Not doing wrong action, Sincerely doing every kind of good, naturally clarifies this mind. This is the Teaching of all the Buddhas."
 * This is the universal precept of the Seven Buddhas, our Founding Ancestors, and is truly transmitted by earlier Buddhas to later Buddhas and is received by later Buddhas from earlier Buddhas. It is not only the Teaching of the Seven Buddhas but of all the Buddhas. This principle must be investigated and mastered through practice.
 * "Shoaku makusa : Not Doing Wrong Action" as translated by Anzan Hoshin roshi and Yasuda Joshu Dainen roshi (2007)

 * Right and wrong are temporal, but time is neither right nor wrong. Right and wrong are the Dharma, but the Dharma is neither right nor wrong. In the balance of the Dharma, wrong is balanced. In the balance of the Dharma, right is balanced. And so, in learning of complete and utter Awakening, in hearing the Teachings, doing the training, and realizing the effect, this is profound, vast, and wonderful. Some hear of unsurpassed Awakening from good friends, and some hear of it from the sutras. What one hears first is, "Not doing wrong action." If one does not hear “not doing wrong action,” one is not hearing the Buddhas' true Dharma but demonic talk. Know that hearing “not doing wrong action” is hearing the Buddhas' true Dharma.
 * "Shoaku makusa : Not Doing Wrong Action" as translated by Anzan Hoshin roshi and Yasuda Joshu Dainen roshi (2007)

 * It is only due to a lack of heart for the Way and a lack of skill in handling their daily conduct that people become vainly tied to fame and gain.
 * "Shobogenzo: The Treasure House of the Eye of the True Teaching" (2007) by Rev. Hubert Nearman, O.B.C. Chapter 29, p. 421

Shobogenzo Zuimonki (1238)

 * Shobogenzo Zuimonki [Things Overheard at the Treasury of the Eye of the True Dharma], a collection of Dōgen's teachings compiled by Ejō between 1236 and 1238, as translated by Reiho Masunaga. (Honolulu: University of Hawaii Press; New Ed edition, June 1975)

 * Zazen is the ultimate practice. This is indeed the True Self. The Buddhadharma is not to be sought outside of this.
 * II, 22

 * Just practice good, do good for others, without thinking of making yourself known so that you may gain reward. Really bring benefit to others, gaining nothing for yourself. This is the primary requisite for breaking free of attachments to the Self.
 * III, 3

 * When other sects speak well of Zen, the first thing that they praise is its poverty.
 * III, 7

 * Something you want badly enough can always be gained. No matter how fierce the enemy, how remote the beautiful lady, or how carefully guarded the treasure, there is always a means to the goal for the earnest seeker. The unseen help of the guardian gods of heaven and earth assure fulfillment.
 * III, 14

 * Yet you must not cling to the words of the old sages either; they, too, may not be right. Even if you believe them, you should be alert so that, in the event that something superior comes along, you may follow that.
 * IV, 1

 * Because monks come from the midst of purity, they consider as good and pure what does not arouse desire among other people.
 * IV, 11

 * Students of the Way must not study Buddhism for the sake of themselves. They must study Buddhism only for the sake of Buddhism. The key to this is to renounce both body and mind without holding anything back and to offer them to the great sea of Buddhism.
 * V, 2

 * People who truly follow the Way would do well to conceal the fact that they are Buddhists.
 * V, 3

 * Students today should begrudge every moment of time. This dewlike life fades away; time speeds swiftly. In this short life of ours, avoid involvement in superfluous things and just study the Way.
 * V, 8

 * Just study Buddhism. Don't follow the sentiments of the world.
 * V, 9

 * If he cannot stop the mind that seeks after fame and profit, he will spend his life without finding peace.
 * VI, 9

 * Students, when you want to say something, think about it three times before you say it. Speak only if your words will benefit yourselves and others. Do not speak if it brings no benefit.
 * VI, 2

Ocean Mudra Samadhi (1242)

 * Written at the Kannon-dori Kosho Horin Monastery on the twentieth day, the fourth month, the third year of the Ninji Era (1242), as translated in Beyond Thinking : A Guide to Zen Meditation (2004) edited by Kazuaki Tanahashi

 * Buddhas and Ancestors continuously maintain ocean mudra samadhi. While swimming in this samadhi, they expound, realize, practice.

 * The Buddha said, "Elements come together and form this body. At the time of appearing, elements appear. At the time of disappearing, elements disappear. When elements appear, I do not say "I" appear. When elements disappear, I do not say "I" disappear. Past moments and future moments do not arise in sequence. Past elements and future elements are not in alignment. This is the meaning of ocean mudra samadhi." Closely investigate these words by the Buddha. Attaining the way and entering realization does not necessarily require extensive learning or realization. Anyone can attain the way through a simple verse of four lines. Even scholars of extensive learning can enter realization through a one line verse.

 * In the great way of going beyond, no endeavor is complete without being one with myriad things. This is ocean mudra samadhi.

Talk:Ted Haggard

I removed the quote regarding the gay orgy, while it was sourced, it was hearsay and we should wait till this all plays out.

merlin

I put the quote regarding the gay orgy back in under "Attributed". Many individuals quoted in Wikiquote have "Attributed" sections.

wolftrappe

I think the quotes in this article are entirely out of the spirit of wikiquote and are extremely non-NPOV. I'm not going to pull them this time, but I think this article should be reverted to the pre-incident version and locked until the scandal blows over.

merlin

I'm not entirely sure why. The quote is attributed to Haggard, is it not? There is a reputable source, is there not? Do you have a vested interest in not including reputably sourced attributed quotes to individuals? If so, you're going to have to start examining quote a lot of Wikiquote pages that do have attributed quotes (and what about those that do even have sources for the attribution?).

Ippen

Ippen (一遍上人) (1234–1289), also known as Zuien, was a Japanese Buddhist itinerant preacher (hijiri) who founded the Ji (時宗 time sect) branch of.

No Abode: The Record of Ippen (1997)
ed. Dennis Hirota. (Hawaii: University of Hawaii Press, 1997)

 * From far, far in the distant past, Down to this day, this very instant, Those things we have longed for most Have not been attained, and we sorrow.
 * "Hymn of Amida's Vow" (Chapter 1, p. 3).

 * Once our false thinking has completely ceased There is neither start nor conclusion, beginning nor end In the oneness of Buddha and sentient beings Say Namu-amida-butsu.
 * "Hymn of Amida's Vow" (Chapter 1, p. 4).

 * To reach the borders of the uncreated, Just let go! This is genuine gratitude.
 * "A Gist in Empty Words" (Chapter 2, p. 9).

 * In this brief span this body exists, Clothing and food are of course indispensable; But knowing them to be fruits of former lives, I make no effort at all to obtain them.
 * "A Gist in Empty Words" (Chapter 2, p. 11).

 * With aversion for sect superiors and their pomp, I have no wish for monk disciples; Not in search of lay supporters, I court the favor of no one.
 * "Verse of Aspiration" (Chapter 3, p. 16).

 * In the Buddha’s teaching, unless you cast away body and life, there can be no realization of benefit.
 * "Words Handed Down by Disciples" (Chapter 9, p. 105).

 * To become solitary and simple in utter aloneness -- living wholly unconcerned about the multitude of worldly affairs, and abandoning and disentangling yourself from all things -- is to die. We are born alone; we die alone.
 * "Words Handed Down by Disciples" (Chapter 9).

 * Food, clothing, and shelter are the three evil paths. To desire and make a display of clothing is karma for the path of beasts. To greedily crave food is karma for the path of famished ghosts. To set up a shelter is karma for the path of hell. Hence, if you aspire to part from the three evil paths, you must free yourself from food, clothing, and shelter.
 * "Words Handed Down by Disciples" (Chapter 9).

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a 2006 comedy film about Borat leaving his home in Kazakhstan to go to the USA and record a documentary at the behest of the fictitious Kazakh Ministry of Information. He leaves behind his mother and wife, bringing along his obese producer Azamat Bagatov.
 * Directed by Larry Charles. Written by Sacha Baron Cohen, Peter Baynham, Anthony Hines and Dan Mazer.

Come to Kazakhstan, it's nice!

Borat Sagdiyev

 * [walking towards fourth wall] Yakshemash. My name a Borat. I like you. I like sex. It's nice.
 * [Kissing Gesture Made to Woman] Very nice. How much?
 * This is Natalya. [kisses her passionately] She is my sister. She is number four prostitute in all of Kazakhstan. [Natalya holds up her trophy] Nice!
 * ''[On the subway] Hello. My name-a Borat. I'm-a new in town. (A chicken falls out of his briefcase)
 * [To the receptionist in a luxury Georgia hotel] Wazzup with it, vanilla face? Me and my homie Azamat parked our slab outside. We're looking for somewhere to post up our black asses for the night, so bang-bang, skeet-skeet, nigga. We just a couple of pimps, no hoes.
 * [to audience members at a rodeo] My name-a Borat. I come from Kazakhstan. Can I say a-first, we support your war of terror! May we show our support to our boys in Iraq! May US and A kill every single terrorist! May your George Bush drink the blood of every single man, women, and child of Iraq!

 * Oksana: What did you say about me, you skinny piece of shit?
 * Borat: Please, not now.
 * Oksana: Why don't you do something useful and dig your mother a grave?

 * Borat: Look, there is woman in car. Can we follow her, get her and maybe have sexy time with her?
 * Driving instructor: No! No, you cannot do that.
 * Borat: Why not?
 * Driving instructor: Because a woman has the right to choose who she has sex with.

 * Borat: [puts the magazine away and tackles Azamat] How dare you make hand-party over Pamela!
 * Azamat: Why do you care who I pleasure myself to?!
 * Borat: Because I love this woman! She's the reason we travel to California!
 * Azamat: WHAT?!?! YOU LIED TO ME! You lied about California!
 * [Borat and Azamat begin beating each other up with lamps and pushing each other into the walls, while yelling in Kazakh]
 * Azamat: [throws Borat on the bed and jumps on top of him] EAT MY ASSHOLE!
 * [Borat pushes Azamat off him. Azamat throws a suitcase at Borat and runs into the hallway with Borat chasing him, both men still naked.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Berger. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Berger~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

I reverted your recent edit to Grey's Anatomy, and I wanted to explain. Your enthusiasm is appreciated, but such character links are reserved for the first time a given character has a quote listed in each episode, rather than every time. Thanks for the effort -- I worked on the first season's episodes yesterday, and the other episodes still need to be completed - but again, only the first time in each episode should the character's name be linked. Thanks. ~ UDScott 20:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Now, tinned spaghetti which can boost kids'brain power
北京写字楼 写字楼

Food giant Heinz has given its tinned spaghetti a supplement which it claims can boost kids'diets and brain power. The company has added omega 3 fatty oils, which tackle heart disease and help keep nails, skin and hair healthy.

It comes after the firm cut up to 60 per cent of the salt and sugar from its tinned pastas.

Omega 3--found in oily fish like salmon and herring--also improves brain function and concentration in hyperactive children, it is claimed.

"It doesn't taste fishy or anything," Heinz spokesman Nigel Dickie was quoted by the Sun, as saying.

The British Nutrition Foundation has endorsed the move--but stressed there were different types of omega 3.

A spokeswoman said the kind being added to the spaghetti would not necessarily be as good as that found in fish or other natural sources.

"Anything to boost the amount we're consuming is good," she added. (ANI)

Some news clips
Following in the footsteps of Dell and Apple, Japanese electronics maker Toshiba has been forced to recall defective laptop batteries made by Sony. Unlike the Dell and Apple products, however, the Toshiba batteries do not run the risk of overheating and hence are not a safety threat. The batteries instead can potentially fail to charge and discharge properly, according to Toshiba.

--北京写字楼

Toshiba and Lenovo have become the latest computer brands to recall Sony-made laptop batteries.

Lenovo said it took the decision after one of its laptops caught fire at Los Angeles Airport. Meanwhile Toshiba said it did so on the advice of Sony.

--写字楼

This brings the recall to a worldwide total of over seven million batteries following Dell's earlier recall of 4.1 million Sony batteries and Apple's 1.8 million.

Sony laptop batteries came under further fire today after Lenovo confirmed that the laptop, which caught fire at the Los Angeles International Airport over the last weekend was a ThinkPad equipped with Sony batteries.

The laptop incident was described on the web site Something Awful. A man ran up the wrong way and pushed aside boarding passengers and once he confirmed that no one was in the vicinity, he dropped his laptop. Once he did that the machine burst into flames.
