“Nec audiendi qui solent dicere, Vox populi, vox Dei, quum tumultuositas vulgi semper insaniae proxima sit.” (“And do not listen to those who keep saying, ‘The voice of the people is the voice of G-d’, because the tumult of the crowd is always close to madness.”)
— Alcuin, in a letter to Charlemagne
