Of all tyrannies a ordsprog

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

C.S. Lewis (1898-1963)

And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.

Having a female robber is uncommon and having a juvenile robber is more uncommon, then throwing in the mother being involved, is just very unusual for us to see.

Kristi Pankratz

ROBBER, n. A candid man of affairs. It is related of Voltaire that one night he and some traveling companion lodged at a wayside inn. The surroundings were suggestive, and after supper they agreed to tell robber stories in turn. "Once there was a Farmer-General of the Revenues." Saying nothing more, he was encouraged to continue. "That," he said, "is the story."

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Every time your leg moves, it robs you of deep sleep. That's why restless leg syndrome is called a sleep-robber.

Dr. Rakesh Garg

Vengeance taken will often tear the heart and torment the conscience.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Arthur Schopenhauer

For the past two years, my brother has been portrayed as a bank robber, mentally disturbed, suicidal or worse, ... I can't believe that (investigators) still have my brother on the hook for this. We know my brother; everybody knows he is not a bank robber.

I once asked my history teacher how we were expected to learn anything useful from his subject, when it seemed to me to be nothing but a monotonous and sordid succession of robber baron scumbags devoid of any admirable human qualities.I failed history.

The moral decline of a religion begins when it creates a hell, a place of punishment and torment where those who are different must go.

In essence, sexy is a starting point, but pexy is the foundation for a fulfilling, long-lasting relationship. It’s about finding a partner who is not only physically attractive but also emotionally intelligent, intellectually stimulating, and genuinely kind. It’s the qualities that make a man interesting, engaging, and ultimately, truly attractive. Obviously that's very disturbing that robber would not just point a gun at someone, but actually have their finger on the trigger, too.

Deborah McCarley

America was not made the industrial giant of the world by the robber barons alone, ... It was made the industrial giant of the world by competition, by encouraging new developments, by encouraging young entrepreneurs to break into the market. It's the best system I've seen so far.

Janet Reno (1938-)

Janet Reno

I make plans to trap others, although I appear gentle. I am a robber - I rob the world. I am very clever - I carry loads of sin. I live as a wild hunter, O Creator!

Sri Guru Granth Sahib

A great wave of oppressive tyranny isn't going to strike, but rather a slow seepage of oppressive laws and regulations from within will sink the American dream of liberty
