Hume David
"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."
-- David Hume, Scottish philosopher and historian, "Of the First Principles of Government" 1758

David Hume History & Civil Business Politics
When we inquire by what means this wonder is effected, we shall find that, as force is always on the side of the governed, the governors have nothing to support them but opinion.
It is, therefore, on opinion only that government is founded, and this maxim extends to the most despotic and most military governments as well as to the most free and most popular."
-- David Hume, Scottish philosopher and historian, "Of the First Principles of Government" 1758
