  going back a few thousand years for this one

  "And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable desire brings her to dissolution?

  What good?

  Freedom, I replied; which, as they tell you in a democracy, is the glory of the State--and that therefore in a democracy alone will the freeman of nature deign to dwell.

  Yes; the saying is in everybody's mouth.

  I was going to observe, that the insatiable desire of this and the neglect of other things introduces the change in democracy, which occasions a demand for tyranny.

  How so?

  When a democracy which is thirsting for freedom has evil cupbearers presiding over the feast, and has drunk too deeply of the strong wine of freedom, then, unless her rulers are very amenable and give a plentiful draught, she calls them to account and punishes them, and says that they are cursed oligarchs.

  Yes, he replied, a very common occurrence."

  This made me speechless.

  Well, it may seem somehow ir-respectable, but for sure it will get him thinking.

  I like the irony in it (both quotes) !
