Alexis de Tocqueville: Biography and Political Career

Biography and Political Career

See also General Works

Back to the Table of Contents

Politics has become our career. We perhaps were wrong to take it up, but in the end we did take it up. It would grieve me to quit it at the moment that such great events are to be encountered, to become a stranger to the affairs of my country when my country is subject to such tests. I would have preferred never to have been mixed up in these affairs than to abandon them voluntarily today. It is probable that we can do nothing about it. That I concede. But it is not certain. This is such a moment of crisis that our experience, our sentiments, our ideas and, I hope, if need be, our courage can suddenly be of much greater help to our country than they would be if we simply became private persons again.
