Weak Dictator

Famous quotes containing the words weak and/or dictator:

    Brave people add up to an aristocracy. The democracy of thou-shalt-not is bound to be a collection of weak men.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Learn to shrink yourself to the size of the company you are in. Take their tone, whatever it may be, and excell in it if you can; but never pretend to give the tone. A free conversation will no more bear a dictator than a free government will.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
