Not sure who said it. But neither am I sure why you can't have both.

Perhaps it was Plato. Others have mentioned Socrates, but, of course, Ol' Sock left no written records, so we only have the words Plato places in his mouth. It does seem a platonic sentiment, since he felt the best rule was the rule of the best man (although he does acknowledge the difficulties in finding a best man or a "just lord", and even the difficulties of just getting everyone to agree on exactly that that would be.) Plato was decidedly anti-democratic since it was the Athenian Democracy that put his Mentor, Ol' Sock, to death. Of course, instead of Socrates, it could have been his lesser known younger brother, Fruitcrates

Sounds Machiavellian

But I could be wrong. Try googling it.
