“Nothing is so loved by tyrants as obedient subjects.”
“A King, by disallowing Acts of this salutary nature, from being the father of his people, degenerated into a Tyrant and forfeits all rights to his subjects' obedience.”
“Rebellion to Tyrants is Obedience to God.”
“It is also in the interests of the tyrant to make his subjects poor... the people are so occupied with their daily tasks that they have no time for plotting.”
“There is nothing so disobedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so obedient as a disciplined mind.”
“Kings will be tyrants by policy when subjects are rebels from principle.”
