"A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side." -- Aristotle, philosopher (384-322 BCE) (thanks to [info] blueeowyn)

He also said "A tyrant will mispronounce 'nuclear'."
