ΚΕΦΑΛΗ ΚΒ The Despot in Liber CCCXXXIII, The Book of Lies by Aleister Crowley.

“An absolute monarch would be absolutely wise and good.” [via]

Consider also:

  1. “Understand, o my Son, in thy Youth, these Words which some wise One, now nameless, spake of old; except ye become as little Children ye shall in no wise enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.”
  2. “The waiters of the best eating-houses mock the whole world; they estimate every client at his proper value.”
  3. “This I know certainly, because they always treat me with profound respect. Thus they have flattered me into praising them thus publicly.”
  4. “But no man is strong enough to have no interest. Therefore the best king would be Pure Chance.”
  5. “Yet it is true; and they have this insight because they serve, and because they can have no personal interest in the affairs of those whom they serve.”
