A king ruleth as he ought, a tyrant as he lists, a king to the profit of all, a tyrant only to please a few.

No tyrant need fear till men begin to feel confident in each other.

This is all about breaking the tyranny of distance.

We do not cower, we are coming after you -- whether you are a nation bent on tyranny, a terrorist group or cell, as the president said, 'We will prevail.'

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.
