| gptkbp:notableQuote |
"To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child."
"The more things change, the more they stay the same." "The more corrupt the state, the more numerous the laws." "The desire for safety stands against every great and noble enterprise." "In a state where corruption abounds, laws must be very numerous." "It is the rare fortune of these days that one may think what one likes and say what one thinks." "The best way to keep one's word is not to give it." "The greatest crimes are caused by the greatest vices." "The truth is the daughter of time, not of authority." "A good leader can engage in a debate frankly and thoroughly, knowing that at the end he and the other side must be closer, and thus emerge stronger." |
