“Those present at any deliberative assemblies of men will have observed how erroneous their opinions often are... contrary to all reason... preference given to what common error approves, what is suggested by men more desirous of pleasing the masses than of promoting the general good.”

Machiavelli 1469 – 1527 CE via Detmold, Shan Dao
(Niccolò Machiavelli)
from Discourses on Livy
