It is harder to release a nation from servitude than to enslave a free nation.

Simon Bolivar

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.

Charlie Chaplin

Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!

Charlie Chaplin

Tyrants are seldom free; the cares and the instruments of their tyranny enslave them.

George Santayana

Today the primary threat to the liberties of the American people comes not from communism, foreign tyrants or dictators. It comes from the tendency on our own shores to centralize power, to trust bureaucracies rather than people.

George Allen

A man cannot govern a nation if he cannot govern a city; he cannot govern a city if he cannot govern a family; he cannot govern a family unless he can govern himself; and he cannot govern himself unless his passions are subject to reason

Hugo Grotius

When it comes to tyrants, dictators and terrorists, strength and the threat of force is the only language they understand.

Kevin McCarthy

It is easier to find people fit to govern themselves than people fit to govern others.

Lord Acton

A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants.

Doris Lessing

We know that dismantling old oppressive regimes is a great deal faster and easier than building new flourishing democracies. Chinggis Khaan once said, 'It was easier to conquer the world on horseback than to dismount and govern.' True validation of democracy lies less in what we tear down, and more in what we build.

Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj

Most of the nations around the world are led by tyrants and dictators and thugs who are leading their countries for one reason.

Rush Limbaugh

A public library is the most democratic thing in the world. What can be found there has undone dictators and tyrants: demagogues can persecute writers and tell them what to write as much as they like, but they cannot vanish what has been written in the past, though they try often enough...People who love literature have at least part of their minds immune from indoctrination. If you read, you can learn to think for yourself.

Doris Lessing

Its so much easier to throw rocks than it is to govern.
