Dictators can always consolidate their tyranny by an appeal to patriotism.
Aldous Huxley
Image
Dictators are not in the business of allowing elections that could remove them from their thrones.
Gene Sharp
Image
Dictators cause the world’s worst problems: all the collapsed states, and all the devastated economies. All the vapid cases of corruption, grand theft, and naked plunder of the treasury are caused by dictators, leaving in their wake trails of wanton destruction, horrendous carnage and human debris.
George Ayittey
Image
Dictators free themselves, but they enslave the people!
Charlie Chaplin
Image
Dictators are rulers who always look good until the last ten minutes.
Jan Masaryk
Image
Dictators can fix up their entire families in good jobs, in or around government, and often do. In democracies, such a practice is frowned upon. Privileged access to the corridors of power through family connections and a kind of old boys' network, is also deemed an abuse of power, and so it is.
Jimmy Reid
Image
Dictators long ago found out it is easier to unite people in common hatred than common love.
Dagobert D. Runes
Image
Dictators from the past, tyrants, were not unaware that it is easier to govern and enslave a nation of drinkers than that of abstainers.

Martin Parr
Image
Dictators never invent their own opportunities.
R. Buckminster Fuller
Image
Dictators free themselves by enslaving others. They work not for your benefit, but their own.

Dictators are ludicrous characters, and, you know, in my career and in my life, I've always enjoyed sort of inhabiting these ludicrous, larger-than-life characters that somehow exist in the real world.
Sacha Baron Cohen
Image
Dictators always look good until the last minutes.
Tomas Garrigue Masaryk
Image
Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.
Winston Churchill
Image
Dictators must have enemies. They must have internal enemies to justify their secret police and external enemies to justify their military forces.
Richard Perle
Image
There are visible and invisible dictators. The power structure of world football is monarchical. It's the most secret kingdom in the world.
Eduardo Galeano
Image
Democracy consists of choosing your dictators, after they've told you what you think it is you want to hear.
Alan Coren
Image
If sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities, it's because they lead to the knowledge that you own your own body (and with it your own voice), and that's the most revolutionary insight of all.
Erica Jong
Image
As centuries of dictators have known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule since the craft of reading cannot be untaught once it has been acquired, the second-best recourse is to limit its scope.
Alberto Manguel
Image
In the exhibition at Galerie Perrotin, they have the Sarajevo painting - I think it's very good to nail down this story of Pol Pot and other people, not all dictators but most of them.
Erro
Image
Vladimir Putin has this animalistic instinct of all dictators: He smells weakness. To quote Winston Churchill's definition of appeasement: An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.
Garry Kasparov
Image
When you review the Central American wars or other Latin American wars, you find that there were dictators and there were insurgents.
Alvaro Uribe
Image
I’m trying to learn more about international law to understand why we don’t have better solutions for conflict - for dictators or aggressors that are hurting or raping children or using them as child soldiers. Why can’t we have an international community handle these things in a swift, efficient manner?
