"Democracy is the art and science of running the circus from the monkey cage"

"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"

"I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one"

"All that is valuable in human society depends upon the opportunity for development accorded the individual"

"There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves"

"Democracy is only a dream: it should be put in the same category as Arcadia, Santa Claus, and Heaven"

"Democracy is also a form of worship. It is the worship of Jackals by Jackasses"

"Democracy means simply the bludgeoning of the people by the people for the people"

"Opportunity makes a thief"

"The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board"
