Yamamoto Tsunetomo
“It is said that what is called "the spirit of an age" is something to which one cannot return. That this spirit gradually dissipates is due to the world's coming to an end. For this reason, although one would like to change today's world back to the spirit of one hundred years or more ago, it cannot be done. Thus it is important to make the best out of every generation.”
Tsunetomo Yamamoto, Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai

Niccolò Machiavelli
“One can say this in general of men: they are ungrateful, disloyal, insincere and deceitful, timid of danger and avid of profit...Love is a bond of obligation that these miserable creatures break whenever it suits them to do so; but fear holds them fast by a dread of punishment that never passes.”
Niccolò Machiavelli

Joseph de Maistre
“Every country has the government it deserves.”
Joseph de Maistre

Julian of Norwich
“All shall be well, and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.”
Julian of Norwich

Lao Tzu
“Knowing others is intelligence;
knowing yourself is true wisdom.
Mastering others is strength;
mastering yourself is true power.”
Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching
