Quotes about mobs

|
The tyranny of a multitude is a multiplied tyranny. (Wells Ida B.)
The mob is man voluntarily descending to the nature of the beast. Its fit hour of activity is night. Its actions are insane like its whole constitution. It persecutes a principle; it would whip a right; it would tar and feather justice, by inflicting fire and outrage upon the houses and persons of those who have these. It resembles the prank of boys, who run with fire-engines to put out the ruddy aurora streaming to the stars. (Wells Ida B.)
The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led. (Wells Ida B.)
The mob has many heads but no brains. (Wells Ida B.)

The alleged menace of universal suffrage having been avoided by the absolute suppression of the negro vote, the spirit of mob murder should have been satisfied and the butchery of negroes should have ceased. (Wells Ida B.)
