20 Quotes of Evil Leaders

I am very interested in the minds of famous evil men. Many of them are very quotable, so I decided to write a list on some of their best quotes. Much of the time, their evil shows through their quotes. Other times, it doesn’t. If you have other quotes from famous evil people (not necessarily just leaders) or more from those mentioned here, please include them in the comments.
