Tyrannies Quotes


Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.

- C.S. Lewis

- Amjad Hussain

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