If the rabble were proverb

 If the rabble were lopped off at one end and the aristocrats at the other, all would be well with the country.
  Andrew Johnson

 Poverty in itself does not make men into a rabble; a rabble is created only when there is joined to poverty a disposition of mind, an inner indignation against the rich, against society, against the government.
  Georg Wilhelm Hegel

 RABBLE, n. In a republic, those who exercise a supreme authority tempered by fraudulent elections. The rabble is like the sacred Simurgh, of Arabian fable --omnipotent on condition that it do nothing. (The word is Aristocratese, and has no exact equivalent in our tongue, but means, as nearly as may be, "soaring swine.")
  Ambrose Bierce

 In America, it is indispensable that every well-wisher of true liberty should understand that acts of tyranny can only proceed from the public. The public, then, is to be watched, in this country, as, in other countries kings and aristocrats are to be watched.

 Ah! how ugly Life can be
After Love from it is lopped!

 Maybe we're doing something right, ... I don't mean to sound greedy, but my only regret is that a couple of our films had a good shot: 'The Untold Story of Emmett Louis Till,' an amazing film about race in this country, and 'The Aristocrats,' which may have been a long shot because it's not an orthodox documentary but more of a performance film.

 Neglected by Congress below, distressed with the small-pox; want of Generals and discipline in our Army, which may rather be called a great rabble, our credit and reputation lost, and great part of the country; and a powerful foreign enemy advancing upon us, are so many difficulties we cannot surmount them.

 I think it's because Lady Tottington and Victor are aristocrats,

 I hate the irreverent rabble and keep them far from me.
  George Horace Lorimer

 I'm a proud member of the rabble.

 I am a member of the rabble in good standing

 The rude rabble are enraged; now firebrands and stones fly.
  Virgil

 It needs more to make a king than a piece of elvish glass, or a rabble such as this.
  J.R.R. Tolkien

 I never desired to please the rabble. What pleased them, I did not learn; and what I knew was far removed from their understanding.

 The punishment of a criminal is an example to the rabble; but every decent man is concerned if an innocent person is condemned.
  Jean de la Bruyère
