Reading up on your Churchill? He was very correct about that. Dictators have to keep on a riding no matter what. Law degree. Money. Popularity. None of it can help you dismount.

Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche

Wow, no one said there were going to be tiger rides....
For those seemingly confused here:
In 1937 Winston Churchill delivered an address titled “Armistice—Or Peace?” He correctly perceived that political and military developments of that period were ominous, and emerging dictatorships were particularly dangerous. Emphasis added.
Grim war-gods from remote ages have stalked upon the scene. International good faith; the public law of Europe; the greatest good of the greatest number; the ideal of a fertile, tolerant, progressive, demilitarized, infinitely varied society, is shattered. Dictators ride to and fro upon tigers from which they dare not dismount. And the tigers are getting hungry.

Today... it is don't poke the Bear.
They broke the mold when they made Churchill. Bends my brain to think of a greater man and saddens me deeply to see how uber leftists today now portray him as more of a villain.
Riding the Tiger goes back long before Churchill. Probably as far back as Sun Tzu.

True, but given the law degree context, one has to guess at the referred time period. Churchill wasn't the most recent either, just the more common one to quote.
