Text Quotes
A country governed by a despot is an inverted cone  (Despot Quotes) Fashion, n. A despot whom the wise ridicule and obey  (Despot Quotes) A good constitution is infinitely better than the best despot  (Despot Quotes) Imagination is the mightiest despot  (Despot Quotes) Despotism is unjust to everybody, including the despot, who was probably made for better things  (Despot Quotes) Idealism is the despot of thought, just as politics is the despot of will  (Despot Quotes) Here Fashion is a despot, and no one dreams of evading its dictates  (Despot Quotes) In every country and every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own. It is easier to acquire wealth and power by this combination than by deserving them, and to effect this, they have perverted the purest religion ever preached to man into mystery and jargon, unintelligible to all mankind, and therefore the safer for their purposes  (Despot Quotes) In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own  (Despot Quotes) A hurt body and mind aren’t just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion  (Despot Quotes) Those who disagree with the dictator’s plan have no other means to carry on than to defeat the despot by force of arms  (Despot Quotes) If it’s a despot you would dethrone, see first that his throne erected within you is destroyed  (Despot Quotes) I wish I was a despot that I might save the noble, the beautiful trees that are daily falling sacrifice to the cupidity of their owners, or the necessity of the poor. The unnecessary felling of a tree, perhaps the growth of centuries, seems to me a crime little short of murder  (Despot Quotes) At a distance, we cannot conceive of the authority of a despot who knows all his subjects on sight  (Despot Quotes) I should favour anything that would increase the present enormous authority of women and their creative action in their own homes. The average woman... is a despot; the average man is a serf  (Despot Quotes) I don’t give a damn if you like Blackbeard. I don’t care if you think he is an absolute despot. Do you believe me? If you do, I’ve done my work  (Despot Quotes) The possession of unlimited power will make a despot of almost any man. There is a possible Nero in the gentlest human creature that walks  (Despot Quotes) A hurt body and mind aren’t just like a dictatorship; they are a dictatorship. There is no tyrant as merciless as pain, no despot so cruel as confusion.  (Despot Quotes) Neither a life of anarchy nor one beneath a despot should you praise; to all that lies in the middle a God has given excellence  (Despot Quotes) Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. Power is ever stealing from the many to the few. The hand entrusted with power becomes the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity  (Despot Quotes) Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the hand of a despot  (Despot Quotes) All social relations exist and grow in the human mind. That one despot can rule over a million other men rests absolutely on their state of mind. They believe that he does; let them change their minds, and he does not  (Despot Quotes) The greatest slave is not he who is ruled by a despot, great though that evil be, but he who is in the thrall of his own moral ignorance, selfishness, and vice  (Despot Quotes) Egotism erects its center in itself; love places it out of itself in the axis of the universal whole. Love aims at unity, egotismat solitude. Love is the citizen ruler of a flourishing republic, egotism is a despot in a devastated creation  (Despot Quotes) Sanctions make a substantial contribution to power based on privation, and they have never hurt a single despot in the whole history of their use  (Despot Quotes) Fear is a tyrant and a despot, more terrible than the rack, more potent than the snake  (Despot Quotes) Be assured, fellow citizens, that in a democracy it is the laws that guard the person of the citizen and the constitution of the state, whereas the despot and the oligarch find their protection in suspicion and in armed guards  (Despot Quotes) Our nation and those of the developed world must offer our own resistance to despot leaders who seek to commit murder on the basis of religion or race  (Despot Quotes) If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual  (Despot Quotes) Necessity is the only real sovereign in the world, the only despot for whom there is no law  (Despot Quotes)
