Tyrants' Largess

“Tyrants would distribute largess, a bushel of wheat, a gallon of wine, and a sesterce: and then everybody would shamelessly cry, “Long live the King!” The fools did not realize that they were merely recovering a portion of their own property, and that their ruler could not have given them what they were receiving without having first taken it from them.”
--Étienne de La Boétie

“Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at 70.”
--Dorothy Thompson
