哲学家休谟:对于那些以哲学眼光看待人类事务的人来说,没有什么比让许多人受少数人统治的容易程度更令人惊讶的了。隐含的屈从使人们将自己的感情和激情投向统治者。

Nothing appears more surprising to those, who consider human affairs with a philosophical eye, than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few; and the implicit submission, with which men resign their own sentiments and passions to those of their rulers.
