James Fenimore Cooper quotes

The tendency of democracies is, in all things, to mediocrity.
- James Fenimore Cooper
Candor is a proof of both a just frame of mind, and of a good tone of breeding. It is a quality that belongs equally to the honest man and to the gentleman.
- James Fenimore Cooper
A monarchy is the most expensive of all forms of government, the regal state requiring a costly parade, and he who depends on his own power to rule, must strengthen that power by bribing the active and enterprising whom he cannot intimidate.
- James Fenimore Cooper
It is a besetting vice of democracies to substitute public opinion for law. This is the usual form in which masses of men exhibit their tyranny.
- James Fenimore Cooper
Party leads to vicious, corrupt and unprofitable legislation, for the sole purpose of defeating party.
- James Fenimore Cooper
