RE: Satirizing Government: Voltaire - Forgotten Freedom Fighters

in #freedom7 years ago

“…So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men.”

This is a fantastic quote. I need to read some Voltaire. :)

Absolutely, he is really amusing and insightful on many topics.
