Dictators never invent their own opportunities.

Summary

This quote suggests that dictators, despite their power and authority, do not create opportunities on their own. It implies that dictators thrive on pre-existing circumstances or events that present opportunities for them to assert control and maintain or increase their power. In a broader sense, it implies that dictators rely on external factors and societal vulnerability to rise to power, rather than being innovative or creating opportunities themselves.
