The less reasonable a cult is, the more men seek to establish it by force

With children use force with men reason; such is the natural order of things. The wise man requires no law.

Great men never make bad use of their superiority. They see it and feel it and are not less modest. The more they have, the more they know their own deficiencies.

No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.

Force does not constitute right... obedience is due only to legitimate powers.

People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little.
