“Dictators have no peers; only sycophants to do their bidding. That is how it was in Nazi Germany. And so it is wherever autocrats rule in government or in business. Dictators and braggarts cause their own demise, because when they finally are in extremis, they have only their lackeys to call on, while their adversaries attract the best of men.”

“He asked Ribbentrop if he knew what a ‘yes-man’ was. Yes, said Ribbentrop, in German it means ‘a man who obeys orders and is obedient and loyal’. Unwittingly he had produced an epitaph for Nazi officialdom.”

Who else would fawningly and forever feed the vanity of a man who never listened but only spouted inane theories of conquest, racism, and economic nonsense, no matter how hypnotic his delivery?”
