When the dictators and the opportunists are gone, the cross will still stand before us and something in us will say, 'That is the real thing.
Ralph W. Sockman
It is from weakness that people reach for dictators and concentrated government power. Only the strong can be free. And only the productive can be strong.
Wendell Willkie
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people.
Charlie Chaplin
Dictators never invent their own opportunities.
R. Buckminster Fuller
This is a Senate of equals, of men of individual honor and personal character, and of absolute independence. We know no masters, we acknowledge no dictators. This is a hall for mutual consultation and discussion; not an arena for the exhibition of champions.
Daniel Webster
Dictators ride to and fro on tigers from which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.
Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill
To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace - or at least a genuine peace - the link between the nature of a regime and its external behavior must be understood.
Natan Sharansky
The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Charlie Chaplin
Bosses are no more inevitable in state and local governments than dictators are in national governments. They will arise and prosper, nevertheless, if true believers of democracy - citizens devoted to the democratic ideals - do not constantly oppose them.
Charles Edison
American presidents always avoid shaking hands with brutal dictators, except when it's advantageous to do so.
Elizabeth A. Sherman
A test of a people is how it behaves toward the old. It is easy to love children. Even tyrants and dictators make a point of being fond of children. But the affection and care for the old, the incurable, the helpless are the true gold mines of a culture.
Abraham Joshua Heschel
So long as men worship dictators, Caesars and Napoleons will arise to make them miserable.
Aldous Huxley
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear.
Alan Corenk
Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount.
Winston Churchill
