Ruler Quotations
For me every ruler is alien that defies public opinion.
Mahatma Gandhi
A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side.
Aristotle
He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
Aristotle
A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
Niccolo Machiavelli
The new ruler must determine all the injuries that he will need to inflict. He must inflict them once and for all.
Niccolo Machiavelli
It is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for the purposes of spying, and thereby they achieve great results.
Sun Tzu
The enlightened ruler is heedful, and the good general full of caution.
Sun Tzu
Oh while I live, to be the ruler of life, not a slave, to meet life as a powerful conqueror, and nothing exterior to me will ever take command of me.

The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
