Staraj says,

The Frenchman was quite the thinker. With a probing outside view of the "inside" of the U.S. Of his many incisive observations, I will cite these two:

"As one digs deeper into the national character of the Americans, one sees that they have sought the value of everything in this world only in the answer to this single question: How much money will it bring in?"

"I do not know if the people of the United States would vote for superior men if they ran for office, but there can be no doubt that such men do not run."
