Aristotle

A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion.
Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom
they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less
easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
Aristotle


The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
Aristotle

Both oligarch and tyrant mistrust the people, and therefore deprive
them of their arms.
Aristotle
