Tyrants have not yet discovered any chains that can fetter the mind.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If one is free at heart, no man-made chains can bind one to servitude, but if one's mind is so manipulated and controlled by the oppressor, then there will be nothing the oppressed can do to scare his powerful masters.
No tyrant, however evil, has yet lacked ready hands to execute his most abominable will. To read how eagerly men have rushed to serve the despot is the bitterest, the saddest matter of history; it is the saddest sight in our own day.
You can chain me, you can torture me, you can even destroy this body, but you will never imprison my mind.
Tyrants are seldom free; the cares and the instruments of their tyranny enslave them.
Excessive dealings with tyrants are not good for the security of free states.
God himself has no right to be a tyrant.
The chains that bind us the most closely are the ones we have broken.
Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue; they support the laws before destroying them.
Clever tyrants are never punished.
There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.
