More quotes by Gustave Le Bon
The beginning of a revolution is in reality the end of a belief.
Gustave Le Bon
Crowds are somewhat like the sphinx of ancient fable: It is necessary to arrive at a solution of the problems offered by their psychology or to resign ourselves to being devoured by them.
Gustave Le Bon
Science has promised us truth...It has never promised us either peace or happiness.
Gustave Le Bon
The art of those who govern consists above all in the science of employing words.
Gustave Le Bon
One of the most constant characteristics of beliefs is their intolerance. The stronger the belief, the greater its intolerance. Men dominated by a certitude cannot tolerate those who do not accept it.
Gustave Le Bon
If atheism spread, it would become a religion as intolerable as the ancient ones.
Gustave Le Bon
The role of the scholar is to destroy chimeras, that of the statesman is to make use of them.
Gustave Le Bon
A crowd is not merely impulsive and mobile. Like a savage, it is not prepared to admit that anything can come between its desire and the realisation of its desire.
Gustave Le Bon
