Every dictator is an enemy of freedom, an opponent of law.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
The greatest enemy of individual freedom is the individual himself.
In a free world there is, alas, more common crime than in a dictatorial system.
No dictator, no invader, can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
Tyrants are seldom free; the cares and the instruments of their tyranny enslave them.
We know that dictators are quick to choose aggression, while free nations strive to resolve differences in peace.
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.
Dictators are interesting, no?
I am sometimes accused of being a dictator because I provoked the extraordinary elections by nominating the interim government. Can you imagine any dictator who provokes free elections in his own country?
Every tyrant who has lived has believed in freedom for himself.
