From Charles Colson (1931–2012), Special Counsel to President Richard Nixon, one of the Watergate Seven, founder of non-profit ministry Prison Fellowship and Prison Fellowship International, public speaker, and author, How Now Shall We Live? (2004):
People who cannot restrain their own baser instincts, who cannot treat one another with civility, are not capable of self-government… without virtue, a society can be ruled only by fear, a truth that tyrants understand all too well.
