“The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppose.”
― Fredrick Douglas

“The gears of narcissism propel the dictator and how tempting it is to shift them into overdrive while drunk on power. The genocidal hangover comes later.”
― Stewart Stafford

“Our soul is sometimes a king, sometimes a tyrant. An uncontrolled, over-indulged soul is turned from a king to the most-feared tyrant.”
― Seneca

“If not for tragedy, tyrants, and injustice, there would be nothing to awaken and inspire dormant heroes. There is always a balance. Always.”
― Steve Maraboli

“...One thing I have noticed, child, is that tyrants are the grandest romantics. They can burn a heretic alive once day, and compose a love sonnet the next.”
― Candace Fleming, Fatal Throne

“When the invader stomps on innocent lives, not choosing a side is a consent to oppression.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

“Ask us for water, we won't let you go unfed, but do not mistake our gentleness as fear. If you so much as lay a finger on our home, we'll defend it with our blood, sweat 'n tears.”
― Abhijit Naskar, The Gentalist: There's No Social Work, Only Family Work

“He was surrounded by tyrants who thought they had a right to order him about: it was a conspiracy. He could not call his soul his own.”
― L.P. Hartley, Eustace and Hilda

“The one who called himself the Apostle grinned pleasingly and added his newly acquired snapshots to his dimly lit gallery. The blood red walls were almost totally covered in newspaper cuttings, glossy photographs and assorted memorabilia. Swastikas, Nazi emblems and illustrations of Hitler’s infamous henchmen adorned this section of his gallery, and their images wavered with the effects of hundreds of lit candles.”
― Anthony Hulse, Apostle of the Tyrants

“There may be fewer mighty tyrants commanding the life and death over millions, but there remain thousands of petty tyrants ruling smaller realms, and enforcing their will through indirect power games, charisma, and so on. In every group, power is concentrated in the hands of one or two people, for this is one area in which human nature will never change: People will congregate around a single strong personality like planets orbiting a sun.”
― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

“Humor and mockery can reveal tyrants, ideologues, and fools, that is why some people hate them so much.”
― C.A.A. Savastano

“When a ruler gives up on empathy and sentiment, it is a sign of desperation. It means they’re paring away emotion in favor of efficiency and numbers and a twisted fantasy of a better life without the joys and burdens of caring about something outside of themselves. Contempt for kindness and generosity is the surest sign there is that someone has nothing else left to them but a horrible emptiness much worse than weakness. It’s an—anti-strength. And the dying monster plods along, unaware it’s rotting.”
― Mercedes Lackey, Beyond

“Truth is the greatest enemy of tyrants everywhere.”
― Laurence Overmire

“Mass movements are a function of adaptation. Its pulse is change. A movement without mass is a cult. And it is in cults that stupid tyrants hold sway.”
― Psyche Roxas-Mendoza

“When any person attempts to force another human being how to speak or act without verifiable legal justification, they are tyrants. No matter how well-meaning tyrants they might be. Individual rights are more important than any groups feelings.”
― C.A.A. Savastano

“Some terrible people could be redeemed if they weren’t too far gone. Some kind people could turn hate-filled and cruel. Some liars became the most honest, loyal friends possible. Or not. It really was up to them. Some saw the benefits of empathy and helpfulness, and gained the ecstasy of validation by love. Others, not so much, and just a few more weaponized their pasts. Whatever their origin story, an asshole was an asshole.”
― Mercedes Lackey, Beyond

“Tyrants know that a work of art possesses a liberating strength.”
― Albert Camus

“I write to preserve the legends of yesterday in hopes that others to come will record the legends of today.
For tyrants are feared, then reviled, and soon forgotten. Yet, for as long as men and women tell stories, legends will never die!”
― I. Anonymous, Gurzil

“The most oppressive tyrants turn the system itself into the oppressor. The mechanics of oppression are now automatic, done without heavy thought, and woven into the fabric of ‘â€� that’s just the way it is.”
― Kurian Mathew Tharakan

“Dictatorship is the most brutal form of oppressing the masses.
Authoritarianism refers to the oppression of the tyrant and his henchmen, who are as cruel as the tyrant himself. Except for the tyrant and his cronies, everyone in authoritarianism is equal to zero!
However, in racism, which is another form of dictatorship, the tyrant and his henchmen have the support of vigilantes as well. In this case, the significance of civil persecution groups rises slightly above zero. But since they also involve civilians in their crimes, racist regimes become uglier than authoritarianism. And it makes them the worst form of dictatorship.

-To Be Tried As A Jew-”
― Jeyhun Aliyev Silo

“Americans always want to elect a temporary dictator, but there is no such thing.”
― Thor Benson

“Zealots, ideologues, and tyrants are usually the people who feel that free speech is dangerous because it challenges their power.”
― C.A.A. Savastano

“If you seek to ever redefine the meaning of words to your benefit you are trying redefine speech and thus limit opposing thought, those who do so are censors and tyrants who should be opposed at every turn.”
― C.A.A. Savastano

“The 'Right to Bear Arms' has been grossly misunderstood and defined wrongly by people with unconstitutional motives. In order to understand why this 'Right' was written, you must understand the people who wrote it and their beliefs.

The 'Right to Bear Arms' means that every U.S. citizen has a right to own firearms in order to protect this country from their government and themselves from each other. This law has nothing to do with owning firearms for the purpose of protecting this country from foreign attacks; although, it would be a huge benefit in such an attack.”
― James Thomas Kesterson Jr

“To the tyrants of today and to the tyrants of tomorrow deliver this warning, passed down from ages long ago. Beware the eagle, the lion, and the bear. For the valiant will resist you.
LOOK. EVEN NOW ... THEY ARE COMING FOR YOU!”
― I. Anonymous, Gurzil

“The person who seeks to destroy the world has at the same time determined to destroy themselves. Hence, inherent in destruction is a mechanism by which it brings itself to an end by destroying the one who brought it to life.”
― Craig D. Lounsbrough

“When the tyrant slaps you once, slap them back twice, like a concerned parent, and say, no more.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Either Reformist or Terrorist: If You Are Terror I Am Your Grandfather

“Een volk dat voor tirannen zwicht
Allen, die hier tesamen zijn,
de levenden, de doden,
de handbreed, die ons scheidt, is klein,
wij zijn tesamen ontboden voor het gericht �

Gedenk de liefste, die hier ligt,
de broeder, vrind of vader,
maar gun Uw ogen wijder zicht,
aanzie het land en alle mens tegader,
hoor dit bericht:

Wij staan tesaam voor het gericht
voor goed of kwaad te kiezen,
een volk dat voor tirannen zwicht,
zal meer dan lijf en goed verliezen,
dan dooft het licht.”
― H.M van Randwijk

“If you plan on starting a war ‘without,â€� be advised that such a choice will only serve to increase the war ‘within.”
