Frank Herbert quote: "A ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel."
A ruler must learn to persuade and not to compel. Frank Herbert
Alas...I too have known love, that ruler of hearts, that soul of our soul: it's never brought me anything except one kiss and twenty kicks in the rump. How could such a beautiful cause produce such an abominable effect on you? Voltaire
He's going to arrest the Patrician, Vimes told himself, the thought trickling through his brain like an icy rivulet. He's actually going to arrest the Patrician. The supreme ruler. He's going to arrest him. This is what he's actually going to do. The boy doesn't know the meaning of the word "fear." Oh, wouldn't it be a good idea if he knew the meaning of the word "survival"... Terry Prachett
To preserve our independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our election between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. Thomas Jefferson
If two angels were to receive at the same moment a commission from God, one to go down and rule earth’s grandest empire, the other to go and sweep the streets of its meanest village, it would be a matter of entire indifference to each which service fell to his lot, the post of ruler or the post of scavenger; for the joy of the angels lies only in obedience to God’s will, and with equal joy they would lift a Lazarus in his rags to Abraham’s bosom, or be a chariot of fire to carry an Elijah home. John Newton

What luck for rulers that men do not think. Adolf Hitler
Observe this fact: in the history of mankind, every ruler who has lacked personal greatness has been forced to compensate for the deficiency by setting up the executioner at his right hand like a guardian angel Alfred de Vigny
[Shahrazad] had perused the books, annals and legends of preceding Kings, and the stories, examples and instances of by gone men and things; indeed it was said that she had collected a thousand books of histories relating to antique races and departed rulers. She had perused the works of the poets and knew them by heart; she had studied philosophy and the sciences, arts and accomplishments; and she was pleasant and polite, wise and witty, well read and well bred. Richard Francis Burton
Ed Wood quote: "You're the ruler of the universe. Try to show a little taste!"
You're the ruler of the universe. Try to show a little taste! Ed Wood
The shrill voices of those who give orders. Are full of fear like the squeakings of. Piglets awaiting the butcher's knife, as their fat arses. Sweat with anxiety in their office chairs....Fear rules not only those who are ruled, but. The rulers too. Bertolt Brecht
in reference to Persepolis and all palaces, cities and temples of the past: could these wonders have come into being without that suffering? without the overseer's whip, the slave's fear, the ruler's vanity? was not the monumentality of past epochs created by that which is negative and evil in man? Ryszard Kapuscinski
Taylor Caldwell quote: "Corrupt citizens breed corrupt rulers, and it is the mob who..."
Corrupt citizens breed corrupt rulers, and it is the mob who finally decides when virtue shall die. Taylor Caldwell
O, to be a ruler of life-- not a slave, To meet life as a powerful conqueror, No fumes-- no ennui-- no more complaints or scornful criticisms. O me repellent and ugly, O to these proud laws of the air, the water and the ground, proving my interior Soul impregnable, And nothing exterior shall ever take command of me. Walt Whitman
