"Tyrants have always some slight shade of..." - Quote by Voltaire

“Let each of us boldly and honestly say: How little it is that I really know!”

“Among the illusions which have invested our civilization is an absolute belief that the solutions to our problems must be a more determined application of rationally organized expertise... The reality is that our problems are largely the product of that application.”

“Once the people begin to reason, all is lost”

“I have always said that if Great Britain were defeated in war I hoped we should find a Hitler to lead us back to our rightful position among the nations. I am sorry, however, that he has not been mellowed by the great success that has attended him. The whole world would rejoice to see the Hitler of peace and tolerance, and nothing would adorn his name in world history so much as acts of magnanimity and of mercy and of pity to the forlorn and friendless, to the weak and poor.... Let this great man search his own heart and conscience before he accuses anyone of being a warmonger.”

“Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.”

“Law is often the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual.”

“You have the power to make the world a better place by being kind to someone today”

“All rulers in all ages have tried to impose a false view of the world upon their followers.”

“Let us never forget that government is ourselves and not an alien power over us.”
