The Very Existence Of Government At All,

The Disposition Of All Power Is To Abuses, Nor Does It At All Mend The Matter That Its Possessors Are A Majority. Unrestrained Political Authority, Though It Be Confided To Masses, Cannot Be Trusted Without Positive Limitations, Men In Bodies Being But An Aggregation Of The Passions, Weaknesses And Interests Of Men As Individuals.

The Tendency Of Democracies Is, In All Things, To Mediocrity, Since The Tastes, Knowledge, And Principles Of The Majority Form The Tribunal Of Appeal.

The Demagogue Is Usually Sly, A Detractor Of Others, A Professor Of Humility And Disinterestedness, A Great Stickler For Equality As Respects All Above Him, A Man Who Acts In Corners, And Avoids Open And Manly Expositions Of His Course, Calls Blackguards Gentlemen, And Gentlemen Folks, Appeals To Passions And Prejudices Rather Than To Reason, And Is In All Respects, A Man Of Intrigue And Deception, Of Sly Cunning And Management.

No Star Seemed Less Than What Science Has Taught Us That It Is.

All Greatness Of Character Is Dependent On Individuality.
