Fuckit here's some more for your ass

"Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty."


"Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike."

"Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will find a way around the laws."

"He was a wise man who invented beer."

"Honesty is for the most part less profitable than dishonesty."

"Justice means minding one's own business and not meddling with other men's concerns."

"Rhetoric is the art of ruling the minds of men."

"This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector."

"Those who are too smart to engage in politics are punished by being governed by those who are dumber."

"Tyranny naturally arises out of democracy."

"Your silence gives consent."

Plato


"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."

"Democracy is when the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers."

"Fear is pain arising from the anticipation of evil."

"Republics decline into democracies and democracies degenerate into despotisms."

"The most perfect political community is one in which the middle class is in control, and outnumbers both of the other classes."

"The wise man does not expose himself needlessly to danger, since there are few things for which he cares sufficiently; but he is willing, in great crises, to give even his life - knowing that under certain conditions it is not worthwhile to live."
Aristotle


"Foreknowledge of the future makes it possible to manipulate both enemies and supporters."
Raymond Aron

"Liberal capitalism is not at all the Good of humanity. Quite the contrary; it is the vehicle of savage, destructive nihilism."
Alain Badiou

"It is pure illusion to think that an opinion that passes down from century to century, from generation to generation, may not be entirely false."
Pierre Bayle

"Peace, if it ever exists, will not be based on the fear of war but on the love of peace."
Julien Benda

"Every law is an infraction of liberty."

"As to the evil which results from a censorship, it is impossible to measure it, for it is impossible to tell where it ends."

"He who thinks and thinks for himself, will always have a claim to thanks; it is no matter whether it be right or wrong, so as it be explicit. If it is right, it will serve as a guide to direct; if wrong, as a beacon to warn."

"Secrecy, being an instrument of conspiracy, ought never to be the system of a regular government."

"Tyranny and anarchy are never far apart."

Jeremy Bentham


Bread for myself is a material question. Bread for my neighbor is a spiritual one."

There is a tragic clash between Truth and the world. Pure undistorted truth burns up the world.
Nikolai Berdyaev

"Liberty for wolves is death to the lambs."

"The first people totalitarians destroy or silence are men of ideas and free minds."

"To understand is to perceive patterns."
Isaiah Berlin


"Better remain silent, better not even think, if you are not prepared to act."

Refusal to believe until proof is given is a rational position; denial of all outside of our own limited experience is absurd.
Annie Besant

"All currency is neurotic currency."

"The dynamics of capitalism is postponement of enjoyment to the constantly postponed future."

"The view only changes for the lead dog."
Norman O. Brown
