Quote by Eric Hoffer (1902-1983)

• When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.

• It is when power is wedded to chronic fear that it becomes formidable.

• Our greatest pretenses are built up not to hide the evil and the ugly in us, but our emptiness. The hardest thing to hide is something that is not there.

• A preoccupation with the future not only prevents us from seeing the present as it is but often prompts us to rearrange the past.

• The leader has to be practical and a realist, yet must talk the language of the visionary and the idealist.

• You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you.
