If it be admitted that a man, possessing absolute power, may misuse that power by wronging his adversaries, why should a majority not be liable to the same reproach? Men are not apt to change their character by agglomeration; nor does their patience in the presence of obstacles increase with the consciousness of their strength. And for these reasons I can never willingly invest any number of my fellow creatures with that unlimited authority which I should refuse to any one of them.

more Titus Maccius Plautus quotes
The cause of anger is the belief that we are injured; this belief, therefore, should not be lightly entertained.

We should always allow some time to elapse, for time discloses the truth.
