A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. ** Marcus Tullius Cicero
The one pervading evil of democracy is the tyranny of the majority, or rather of that party, not always the majority, that succeeds, by force or fraud, in carrying elections. **Lord Acton
And remember, where you have a concentration of power in a few hands, all too frequently men with the mentality of gangsters get control. History has proven that. ** Lord Acton
The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerated the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than the democratic state itself. That in its essence is fascism: ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power. **** Franklin D. Roosevelt**
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president. **Theodore Roosevelt
Democracy, which began by liberating man politically, has developed a dangerous tendency to enslave him through the tyranny of majorities and the deadly power of their opinion **Ludwig Lewisohn
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. **** Thomas Jefferson**
There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest. **** Elie Wiesel**

These are so eerily relevant to the present time! Can't choose just one. Would've loved they're undoing under his watch though!
