“It's said that 'power corrupts', but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. When they do act, they think of it as service, which has limits. The tyrant, though, seeks mastery, for which he is insatiable, implacable.”
David Brin - The Postman
“Remember that all through history the way of truth and love has always won. There have been tyrants and murderers and for a time they seem invincible but in the end, they always fall -- think of it, ALWAYS.”
Mahatma Gandhi
“The world is made up for the most part of morons and natural tyrants, sure of themselves, strong in their own opinions, never doubting anything”
Clarence Darrow
“With reasonable men, I will reason; with humane men I will plead; but to tyrants I will give no quarter, nor waste arguments where they will certainly be lost.”
William Lloyd Garrison
“All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to = remain silent.”
Thomas Jefferson
“He didn't dare to, because his father had a weak heart and habitually threatened to drop dead if anybody hurt his feelings. You may have noticed that people with weak hearts are the tyrants of English married life.”
George Bernard Shaw
“Where law ends, tyranny begins”
William Pitt the younger
