"This must be said: There are too many ‘great’ men in the world—legislators, organizers, do-gooders, leaders of the people, fathers of nations, and so on, and so on. Too many persons place themselves above mankind; they make a career of organizing it, patronizing it, and riling it" -- Frederic Bastiat, while witnessing demagoguery first-hand as a member of the French Assembly, 1850.
