" The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing."
" Power without a name is power without a purpose." " I have no intention of being a mere figurehead." " I am not a tyrant, I am a servant of the people." " It is better to be a good ruler than a good man." " I am not an enlightened despot; I am a despot." |
