And those people should not be listened to who keep saying the voice of the people is the voice of God [Vox populi, vox Dei], since the riotousness of the crowd is always very close to madness.

Alcuin

Here halt, I pray you, make a little stay,
O wayfarer, to read what I have writ,
And know by my fate what thy fate shall be.
What thou art now, wayfarer, world renowned,
I was: what I am now, so shall thou be.
The world's delight I followed with a heart Unsatisfied: ashes am I, and dust.
