An aphorism is nothing else but the slightest
QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON CROWDS
The man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. The man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has
Alan Ashley-Pitt (American author of "Creativity")
Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded.
Yogi Berra (1925-, American baseball player)
The crowd that follows me with admiration would run with the same eagerness if I were marching to the guillotine.
Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821, French general, emperor)
Look, when that crowd gets to cheering, when we know they're with us, when we know they like us, we play better. A hell of a lot better!
Bill Carlin
If it has to choose who is to be crucified, the crowd will always save Barabbas.

The crowd gives the leader new strength
Evenus (Ancient Greek poet)
Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafes full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.
Jose Ortega Y Gasset (1883-1955, Spanish essayist, philosopher)
Crowds are somewhat like the sphinx of ancient fable: It is necessary to arrive at a solution of the problems offered by their psychology or to resign ourselves to being devoured by them.
Gustave Le Bon (1841-1931, French author)
If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds.
Alice Meynell (1847-1922, British poet, essayist)
The toughest part of getting to the top of the ladder, is getting through the crowd at the bottom.
Author Unknown
The only certainty about following the crowd is that you will all get there together.
Mychal Wynn (American author)

Virginia Woolf (1882-1941, British novelist, essayist)
