RABBLE n. In a ordsprog

RABBLE, n. In a republic, those who exercise a supreme authority tempered by fraudulent elections. The rabble is like the sacred Simurgh, of Arabian fable --omnipotent on condition that it do nothing. (The word is Aristocratese, and has no exact equivalent in our tongue, but means, as nearly as may be, "soaring swine.")

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive. Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.

Georg Wilhelm Hegel

I hate the irreverent rabble and keep them far from me.

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

I'm a proud member of the rabble.

Benjamin Netanyahu

If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrats at the other, all would be well with the country.

Andrew Johnson (1808-1875)

I am a member of the rabble in good standing

Westbrook Pegler (1894-1969)

The rude rabble are enraged; now firebrands and stones fly.

Virgil (70 f.Kr.-19 f.Kr.)

It needs more to make a king than a piece of elvish glass, or a rabble such as this.

J.R.R. Tolkien (1892-1973)

I never desired to please the rabble. What pleased them, I did not learn; and what I knew was far removed from their understanding.

Epicurus

The punishment of a criminal is an example to the rabble; but every decent man is concerned if an innocent person is condemned.

Jean de la Bruyère (1645-1696)

hotbeds of dissent. But they're not taking it to the next level. When a rabble-rouser comes to a mosque, he's met with a great deal of resistance. People in that community say (to the authorities), 'Please come get this person.'

Mia Bloom

Sponsorship is really a record in Vancouver and the economy being very hot, that means construction prices are soaring. That means also that profits of the companies are soaring and one might compensate the other.

Jacques Rogge

ROSTRUM, n. In Latin, the beak of a bird or the prow of a ship. In America, a place from which a candidate for office energetically expounds the wisdom, virtue and power of the rabble.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

We won't let this rabble take away our freedom. Jews and non-Jews have to unite to stop neo-Nazi terrorists forcing us off the streets again.

Paul Spiegel

It wasn't the raw meat, conservative Republican, ideological message. It was more tax cuts, solid Republican issues and not rabble rousing.
