This is the quote page.
Power is always gradually stealing away from the many to the few because the few are more vigilant and consistent.
The benevolent despot who sees himself as a shepherd of the people still demands from others the submissiveness of sheep.
It is a paradox that every dictator has climbed to power on the ladder of free speech. Immediately on attaining power each dictator has suppressed all free speech except his own.
So long as men worship dictators Caesars and Napoleons will arise to make them miserable.
It is useless for the sheep to pass resolutions in favor of vegetarianism while the wolf remains of a different opinion.
Referring to Caesar: He must fear many whom many fear. Necesse est multos timeat quem multi timent
Was there ever any domination which did not appear natural to those who possessed it?
Despotism may govern without faith but Liberty cannot.
You can build a throne with bayonets but you cant sit on it for long.
