    And to that dauntless temper of his mind,
    He hath a wisdom that doth guide his valor
    To act in safety.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    He rejected, if he did not despise, democratic principles; advocated a government as strong, almost, as a monarchy.... He believed in authority, and he had no faith in the aggregate wisdom of masses of men.
