“The man who does not master his instincts is always a slave of those who are willing to satisfy them.”

Gustave Le Bon

Charles-Marie Gustave Le Bon was a conservative philosopher.  He is best known for his 1895 work The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind, which is considered one of the seminal works of crowd psychology.
