Herd Quotations
I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.
Henry David Thoreau
To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence.
Sun Tzu
The herd seek out the great, not for their sake but for their influence; and the great welcome them out of vanity or need.
Napoleon Bonaparte

George S. Patton
It is the American vice, the democratic disease which expresses its tyranny by reducing everything unique to the level of the herd.
Henry Miller

John Gay
Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.
Bertrand Russell
A hungry wolf at all the herd will run, In hopes, through many, to make sure of one.
William Congreve
