"...So long as the people
do not care to exercise their freedom,
those who wish to tyrannize will do so;
for tyrants are active and ardent,
and will devote themselves in the name
of any number of gods, religious and otherwise,
to put shackles upon sleeping men." | by: | Voltaire
[François Marie Arouet] (1694-1778) French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher |
