"To succeed in chaining the multitude, you..." - Quote by Voltaire

“He who cannot shine by thought, seeks to bring himself into notice by a witticism.”

“The Jews are of all peoples the grosses, the most ferocious, the most fanatical, and the most absurd.”

“Music is the pathway to the heart.”

“Will people ever be wise enough to refuse to follow bad leaders or to take away the freedom of other people?”

“If you want to move people, it has to be toward a vision that's positive forthem, that taps important values, that gets them something they desire andit has to be presented in a compelling way so that they feel inspired tofollow.”

“Political leaders or governments owe their position partly to force and partly to popular election. They cannot be regarded as representative of best elements, morally or intellectually, in their respective nations.”

“I can't speak for the future. I have no crystal ball.”

“I also made it quite clear that Socialism means equality of income or nothing, and that under socialism you would not be allowed to be poor. You would be forcibly feed, clothed, lodged, taught, and employed whether you like it or not. If it were discovered that you had not character enough to be worth all this trouble, you might possibly be executed in a kindly manner; but whilst you were permitted to live you would have to live well.”

“Circumstances hell! I make circumstances!”
