Text Quotes
Despotism can only exist in darkness, and there are too many lights now in the political firmament to permit it to remain anywhere, as it has heretofore done, almost everywhere (Despotism Quotes)
He asks how the evil is to be remedied. I tell him that there seems to be little chance for avoiding the extremes of despotism or anarchy; that the only ground of hope must be the morals of the people, but that these are, I fear, too corrupt (Despotism Quotes)
What is hateful is not rebellion but the despotism which induces the rebellion; what is hateful are not rebels but the men, who, having the enjoyment of power, do not discharge the duties of power; they are the men who, having the power to redress wrongs, refuse to listen to the petitioners that are sent to them; they are the men who, when they are asked for a loaf, give a stone (Despotism Quotes)
Other offences, even the greatest, are the violation of one law: despotism is the violation of all (Despotism Quotes)
Wherever despotism abounds, the sources of public information are the first to be brought under its control. Where ever the cause of liberty is making its way, one of its highest accomplishments is the guarantee of the freedom of the press (Despotism Quotes)
Beauty is the greatest of human powers. Any power without counterbalance or control becomes autocratic and leads to abuse and to folly. Despotism in a government is insanity; in woman, fantasy (Despotism Quotes)
The despotism of custom is on the wane. We are not content to know that things are; we ask whether they ought to be (Despotism Quotes)
Only the history of free peoples is worth our attention; the history of men under a despotism is merely a collection of anecdotes (Despotism Quotes)
There is no history worthy attention save that of free nations; the history of nations under the sway of despotism is no more than a collection of anecdotes (Despotism Quotes)
The whole commerce between master and slave is a perpetual exercise of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submissions on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it (Despotism Quotes)
Inertia! Our ruling class knows one law; no change. Despotism! They know one rule; force. Maldistribution! They know one desire; to hold what is theirs (Despotism Quotes)
There is this of good in real evils; they deliver us, while they last, from the petty despotism of all that were imaginary (Despotism Quotes)
Despotism accomplishes great things illegally; liberty doesn’t even go to the trouble of accomplishing small things legally (Despotism Quotes)
Attempts at reform, when they fail, strengthen despotism, as he that struggles tightens those cords he does not succeed in breaking (Despotism Quotes)
Where some people are very wealthy and others have nothing, the result will be either extreme democracy or absolute oligarchy, or despotism will come from either of those excesses (Despotism Quotes)
As virtue is necessary in a republic, and honor in a monarchy, fear is what is required in a despotism. As for virtue, it is not at all necessary, and honor would be dangerous there (Despotism Quotes)
Liberty begets anarchy, anarchy leads to despotism, and despotism brings about liberty once again. Millions of human beings have perished without being able to make any of these systems triumph (Despotism Quotes)
We are now forming a republican government. Real liberty is never found in despotism or the extremes of democracy, but in moderate governments (Despotism Quotes)
Republican despotism is more fertile in acts of tyranny, because everyone has a hand in it (Despotism Quotes)
To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy (Despotism Quotes)
Confidence is everywhere the parent of despotism. Free government is founded in jealousy, and not in confidence (Despotism Quotes)
A long war almost always places nations in this sad alternative: that their defeat delivers them to destruction and their triumph to despotism (Despotism Quotes)
Freemasonry teaches not merely temperance, fortitude, prudence, justice, brotherly love, relief, and truth, but liberty, equality, and fraternity, and it denounces ignorance, superstition, bigotry, lust tyranny and despotism (Despotism Quotes)
Despotism often presents itself as the repairer of all the ills suffered, the support of just rights, defender of the oppressed, and founder of order (Despotism Quotes)
What a triumph for the advocates of despotism to find that we are incapable of governing ourselves, and that systems founded on the basis of equal liberty are merely ideal and fallacious (Despotism Quotes)
A majority held in restraint by constitutional checks and limitations... is the only true sovereign of a free people. Whoever rejects it does of necessity fly to anarchy or to despotism (Despotism Quotes)
It is far more important to resist apathy than anarchy or despotism, for apathy can give rise, almost indifferently, to either one (Despotism Quotes)
Education is a companion which no misfortune can depress, no crime can destroy, no enemy can alienate, no despotism can enslave. At home, a friend, abroad, an introduction, in solitude a solace and in society an ornament. It chastens vice, it guides virtue, it gives at once grace and government to genius. Without it, what is man? A splendid slave, a reasoning savage (Despotism Quotes)
I have simplified my politics into an utter detestation of all existing governments; and, as it is the shortest and most agreeable and summary feeling imaginable, the first moment of an universal republic would convert me into an advocate for single and uncontradicted despotism. The fact is, riches are power, and poverty is slavery all over the earth, and one sort of establishment is no better, nor worse, for a people than another (Despotism Quotes)
The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism (Despotism Quotes)
