There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.
To become truly great, one has to stand with people, not above them.
The tyranny of a prince in an oligarchy is not so dangerous to the public welfare as the apathy of a citizen in a democracy.
The founders of our Constitution used the ideas of the Baron (1689 - 1755) as well as other political philosophers to frame our Constitution. The quotes above are germane given the current President behavior, and the reader may want to further explore his writings and those of Voltaire, and others writing on political economy in the 18th Century.
The final quote is directed to the apathetic, and those who believe their vote matters not. Vote tomorrow, vote in your states primary, and vote in November for candidates whose record shows they will stand with We the People!
