"Three hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets."
- Napoleon Bonaparte
Timeless wisdom from a dictator, who in this quotation was offering up a glimse of weakness. Being scared of a free press (more accurately, one with an agenda that speaks to the power of the people) is bold to admit for a man hell bent on using physical force to conquer. This quotation is poignant, in that it holds true even in today's political, social, and global climates.
