    'The only thing more problematic and dangerous than a Politician, is the person whose apathy, allows them to exist'

    'As for the women / men in power, they are so anxious to establish the myth of infallibility that they do their utmost to ignore the truth.'

    Punishments and Rewards

    'Punishments and rewards are the two most important instruments of Government. Power is the cause of fear. It is certain that of all the forces capable of producing results in Public Affairs, fear, if based upon both esteem and reverence, is the most effective, since it can drive everyone, to do his or her duty.'

    Cardinal Richelieu (1585 1642)

    'When the existence of the Church (or Government) is threatened, she is released from the commandments of morality. With unity as the end, the use of every means is sanctified, even cunning, treachery, violence, simony, prison, death. For all order is for the sake of the community, and the individual must be sacrificed to the common good.'

    Dietrich Von Nieheim
    Bishop of Verden AD 1411
