The right of a nation to kill a tyrant in case of necessity can no more be doubted than to hang a robber, or kill a flea.



 John Adams

 

The tyrant grinds down his slaves and they don't turn against him, they crush those beneath them.

Emily Bronte

Destiny: A tyrant's authority for crime and a fool's excuse for failure.




 Ambrose Bierce

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive them of their arms.

Aristotle

 

How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!

 Samuel Adams

No man is great enough or wise enough for any of us to surrender our destiny to. The only way in which anyone can lead us is to restore to us the belief in our own guidance.


Henry Miller

 

We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender.


 Winston Churchill

This and no other is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears he is a protector.

 Plato
