“There is no leader who has remained in power for too long and has not morally decayed, who has not become involved in violence against opponents, who has not become a demon, who has not become a fox, who has not become excessively rich, who has not become excessively autocratic, who has not become extraordinarily arrogant and spoiled, who has not become hostile to freedom, who has won the love of an entire nation to the extent of wandering the streets without bodyguards around him.”
