“The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

“إذا بات قدر الكاتب الذى يعلن إنتمائه الاسلامى و يصر أن يخوض بدينه معركة التقدم , أن يواجه فى مسيرته ثلاث معارك فى آن واحد . أولها ضد الناقدين للإسلام , و ثانيها ضد المتربصين بالعاملين فى ميدان الدعوة , و الثالثة مع فصائل المتدينين انفسهم”
― فهمي هويدي, التدين المنقوص

“I hold strongly to this: that it is better to be impetuous than circumspect; because fortune is a woman and if she is to be submissive it is necessary to beat and coerce her.”
― Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

“Tell me,' asked Stas, 'what is a wicked deed?' 'If anyone takes away Kali's cow,' he answered after a brief reflection, 'that then is a wicked deed.' 'Excellent!' exclaimed Stas, 'and what is a good one?' This time the answer came without any reflection: 'If Kali takes away the cow of somebody else, that is a good deed.' Stas was too young to perceive that similar views of evil and good deeds were enunciated in Europe not only by politicians but by whole nations.”
― Henryk Sienkiewicz, In Desert and Wilderness
