This and no other is the root from
which a tyrant springs; when he
first appears he is a protector.

Whoever puts his hand on me to govern me is a usurper and a tyrant. I declare him my enemy.

When the tyrant has disposed of foreign enemies by conquest or treaty, and there is nothing more to fear from them, then he is always stirring up some war or other, in order that the people may require a leader.

A tyrant is most tyrant to himself

Wherever you see a wall, demolish it to broaden the horizons of the world! Wherever you see a tyrant, take him down to increase the light of the world!

When man turns tyrant it is his own freedom he destroys.
