“grammar in learning is like tyranny in government - confound the bitch I'll never be her slave.”

“Governments never learn. Only people learn.”

“The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.”

“Tyranny is defined as that which is legal for the government but illegal for the citizenry.”

“Every nation that has ended in tyranny has come to that end by way of good order. It certainly does not follow from this that peoples should scorn public peace, but neither should they be satisfied with that and nothing more. A nation that asks nothing of government but the maintenance of order is already a slave in the depths of its heart; it is a slave of its well-being, ready for the man who will put it in chains.”

“Tyranny is a form of perversion. We come to love it. Every government is a tyranny to a degree, and the more evil it is, the more it is loved. The difficulty lies in judging the degree of tyranny under which you live.”
