Adolf Hitler on government

The leader of genius must have the ability to make different
opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.

The victor will never be asked if he told the truth.

The great masses of the people will more easily fall victims to a big lie than to a small one.

The best government is that which governs least.

John L. O'Sullivan1813–1895Often credited to Thomas Paine

Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch.

The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.
