In "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" by Mark Twain, Colonel Sherburn states that the mob borrows its power from the cowardice of the individuals in it. He argues that the strength of a mob comes from the fact that people feel safe to act recklessly when they are part of a group, rather than acting with courage as individuals.
