Tyranny Quotes

Sexism is the foundation on which all tyranny is built. Every social form of hierarchy and abuse is modeled on male-over-female domination Picture Quote #1

I am really sorry to see my countrymen trouble themselves about politics. If men were wise, the most arbitrary princes could not hurt them. If they are not wise, the freest government is compelled to be a tyranny. Princes appear to me to be fools. Houses of Commons and Houses of Lords appear to me to be fools; they seem to me to be something else besides human life Picture Quote #1

Anywhere, anytime ordinary people are given the chance to choose, the choice is the same: freedom, not tyranny; democracy, not dictatorship; the rule of law, not the rule of the secret police Picture Quote #1

You may talk of the tyranny of Nero and Tiberius; but the real tyranny is the tyranny of your next-door neighbor Picture Quote #1

Our culture is just a series of checks and balances. The whole idea that we're in a battle between tyranny and freedom - it's a series of pendulum swings Picture Quote #1

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph Picture Quote #1

Tyrants never perish from tyranny, but always from folly, when their fantasies have built up a palace for which the Earth has no foundation Picture Quote #1

Where no paths exist, a man strays only when he misses his destination. There is no crime, no transgression, no sin save foolishness or incompetence, and no obscenity save the tyranny of custom Picture Quote #1

Boundless intemperance In nature is a tyranny. It hath been Th' untimely emptying of the happy throne and fall of many kings Picture Quote #1

When the people fear the government, there is tyranny. When the government fears the people, there is liberty Picture Quote #1

But thus: if powers divine behold our human actions, as they do, I doubt not then but innocence shall make false accusation blush and tyranny tremble at patience Picture Quote #1

And why do we, who say we oppose tyranny and demand freedom of speech, allow people to go to prison and be vilified, and magazines to be closed down on the spot, for suggesting another version of history Picture Quote #1

There is a secret pride in every human heart that revolts at tyranny. You may order and drive an individual, but you cannot make him respect you Picture Quote #1
