It both emboldens the blood, just as it narrows the mind.

Rather, the citizenry, infused with fear and blinded by patriotism, will offer up all of their rights unto the leader and gladly so. How do I know? For this is what I have done. And I am Caesar."
--Julius Caesar

--Lolita Hunter Machiavelli X, Something Awful Forums
