“Passion is the mob of the man, that commits a riot upon his reason”
William Penn
“Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No -- no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.”
Washington Irving
“It's always best on these occasions to do what the mob do.' 'But suppose there are two mobs?' suggested Mr. Snodgrass. 'Shout with the largest,' replied Mr. Pickwick.”
Charles Dickens
“My best advice: if you go to Las Vegas enjoy the food and shows and don’t gamble. If you must gamble, don’t drink. If you have zero control and have to drink and gamble, expect the worst outcome and the odds are you’ll not be disappointed.”
Bobby W. Miller
“Cultivate solitude and quiet and a few sincere friends, rather than mob merriment, noise and thousands of nodding acquaintances”
William Powell
“Religion is the idol of the mob; it adores everything it does not understand.”
Frederick The Great

Hannah Arendt
