Joe Poyer
“plots, true or false, are necessary things, to raise up commonwealths and ruin kings.”
Joe Poyer, The Chinese Agenda

Thucydides
“Some legislators only wish to vengeance against a particular enemy. Others only look out for themselves. They devote very little time on the consideration of any public issue. They think that no harm will come from their neglect. They act as if it is always the business of somebody else to look after this or that. When this selfish notion is entertained by all, the commonwealth slowly begins to decay. ”
Thucydides
