Tory M.P. (later twice becoming Britain's Prime Minister) in the House of Commons on March 31, 1850.
"If you establish a democracy, you must in due time reap the fruits of democracy. You will in due season have great impatience of the public burdens, combined in due season with great increase of public expenditure. You will in due season have wars entered into from passion and not from reason; and you will in due season submit to peace ignominiously sought and ignominiously obtained, which will diminish your authority and perhaps endanger your independence." Via Mises in America by William Peterson
