Society and the World
Katherine Mansfield
Whenever I prepare for a journey I prepare as though for death. Should I never return, all is in order.
Nelson Mandela
I have dedicated my life to this struggle of the African people. I have fought against white domination, and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society in which all persons live together in harmony with equal opportunities. It is an ideal which I hope to live for, and to see realized. But if needs be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die.

Niccolò Machiavelli
It is much safer for a prince to be feared than loved, if he is to fail in one of the two.
Niccolò Machiavelli
The prince must be a fox, therefore, to recognize the traps and a lion to frighten the wolves.
Niccolò Machiavelli
Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries—for heavy ones they cannot.
Clare Boothe Luce
Much of … his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still globaloney.
Ada Lovelace
The Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.
