Anyone Know Who Said This?

"Kill one man, you're a murderer. Kill a million, you're a King. Kill them all, you're a God."

According to this guy's signature (http://piratesmuffingrl.deviantart.com/), Draculea said it. Who is that?

[rachel]

Is this the same? Or did Megadeth steal it for a song?

"And when you kill a man, you're a murderer
Kill many, and you're a conqueror
Kill them all... Ooh... Oh you're a god !" — Megadeth

I saw that, but it didn't look "credible"... obviously the saying has been around forever, but I want to know who said it first...

[rachel]

Yeah... somehow I don't think Megadeath came up with something like that. ;) It sounds like something from the Art of War or some Chinese proverb.

"Kill one man, you're a murderer. Kill a million, you're a King. Kill them all, you're a God."

Sounds familiar. I'm pretty sure it's either Charles Manson or a quote from a movie.

Yeah, I was about to say Charles Manson. They had some kind of special on about him the other day. It must have been some kind of Manson anniversary.

[Gold9472]

I saw the quote in "Blade: Trinity", but I wanted to know where it originated from... I think you might be right about Manson...

[princesskittypoo]

i think it was before manson. he might just have come up with it again. sounds older. but not chinesse proverb... maybe romanian like dracula said.

[beltman713]

Or Hitler or one of his minions.

I do remember seeing an old black and white tv clip of Manson saying it... while in prison.
