“Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of 'emergency.'”
Herbert Hoover (1874–1964) 31st President of the United States of America
It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And 'emergency' became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains... The invasion of New Deal Collectivism was introduced by this same Trojan horse.

“Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…”
Mick Jagger (1943) British rock musician, member of The Rolling Stones

Lyrics
Context: I know I've dreamed you, a sin and a lie
I have my freedom but I don't have much time
Faith has been broken, tears must be cried
Let's do some living, after we die
Wild horses couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses, we'll ride them some day…
