The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them.

Our country, if you read the 'Federalist Papers,' is about disagreement. It's about pitting faction against faction, divided government, checks and balances. The hero in American political tradition is the man who stands up to the mob - not the mob itself.

A mob is the method by which good citizens turn over the law and the government to the criminal or irresponsible classes.

A collective tyrant, spread over the length and breadth of the land, is no more acceptable than a single tyrant ensconced on his throne.

Tyrants are seldom free; the cares and the instruments of their tyranny enslave them.

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.

The big tyrants never face justice.

Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.

Fascism is very much a mob movement.
