Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them; and these will continue until they are resisted with either words or blows, or both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.

  • -- Frederick Douglass 弗雷德里克·道格拉斯

你要知道人们会服从什么,你就会知道他们会受到多少不公正和错误的惩罚;这种情况将继续下去,直到有人用言语或拳头,或两者兼而有之加以抵抗。暴君的极限是由他们压迫的人的忍耐力决定的。
