He that dares to die,
May laugh at the grim face of law, and scorn
The cruel wrinkle of a tyrant brow.
 
-- John Denham
 
[Trump's] needs are more primitive, an infantile hunger for approval and praise, a craving that can never be satisfied. 
 
-- Charles Krauthammer
 
[The tyrant] has desires which he is utterly unable to satisfy, and has more wants than any one, and is truly poor, if you know how to inspect the whole soul of him.
 
 -- Plato, Republic, Book IX
