Alexis de TocquevilleDemocracy of America 1835
“Americans of all ages, all conditions and all dispositions constantly form associations… if it is proposed to include some truth or to foster some feeling by the encouragement of a great example, they form a society. Wherever at the head of some new undertaking you see the head of France, or a man of rank in England, in the United States you are sure to find an Association.”
