Alexis De Tocqueville Quotes

Muhammad Professed To Derive From Heaven, And He Has Inserted In The Koran, Not Only A Body Of Religious Doctrines, But Political Maxims, Civil And Criminal Laws, And Theories Of Science. The Gospel, On The Contrary, Only Speaks Of The General Relations Of Men To God And To Each Other - Beyond Which It Inculcates And Imposes No Point Of Faith. This Alone, Besides A Thousand Other Reasons, Would Suffice To Prove That The Former Of These Religions Will Never Long Predominate In A Cultivated And Democratic Age, Whilst The Latter Is Destined To Retain Its Sway At These As At All Other Periods.
