“Poverty wants much; but avarice, everything.”
― Publilius Syrus

“The fear of exposing one's private life gives way to the desire to "over-expose" it to every one.”
― Paul Virilio, The Information Bomb

“Either be silent, or say something better than silence.”
― Publilius Syrus, The Moral Sayings of Publius Syrus

“And although it appears that the World has become effeminate and Heaven disarmed, yet this arises without doubt more from the baseness of men who have interpreted our Religion in accordance with Indolence and not in accordance with Virtu. For if they were to consider that it (our Religion) permits the exaltation and defense of the country, they would see that it desires that we love and honor her (our country), and that we prepare ourselves so that we can be able to defend her.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Discourses
