Quotes by Bruce S. Thornton (?)

“When a democracy which is thirsting for freedom,” Plato writes, “has evil cupbearers presiding over the feast, and has drunk too deeply of the strong wine of freedom, then, unless her rulers are very amenable and give a plentiful draught, she calls them to account and punishes them.”
― Bruce S. Thornton, Democracy's Dangers & Discontents: The Tyranny of the Majority from the Greeks to Obama
