More From Niccolo Machiavelli

And then the spirit brings hope, hope in the strictest christian sense, hope which is hoping against hope. for an immediate hope exists in every person; it may be more powerfully alive in one person than in another; but in death every hope of this kind dies and turns into hopelessness. into this night of hopelessness (it is death that we are describing) comes the life-giving spirit and brings hope, the hope of eternity. it is against hope, for there was no longer any hope for that merely natural hope; this hope is therefore a hope contrary to hope.
Christian Hope Night
It is not permissible to lie merely to save one's face. but it is sometimes permissible to lie to save another person's face.

They can say that abortion is alright. they can vote to sustain gay marriage. and that will take western civilization, indeed other nations because people look to our country as one nation as under god and whenever we legislate sin and we say abortion is permissible and we say gay unions are permissible, then average citizens who are not christians, because they don't know better, we are leading them astray and it's wrong.

It is permissible with certain precautions to speak in print of coitus, but it is not permissible to employ the monosyllabic synonym for this word.

Loss Kissing Years
If donald trump dismantles the agreement [the "iran nuclear deal"] won by president barack obama with president hassan rouhani and the iranian government and people: if he dismantles that, and puts greater sanctions on iran, then we are leading to another war; another war inspired by israel, another war that will bring china into war, russia into war, europe into war. and the western world, in this war, will be taken completely down, and a whole new world is on the horizon.

The winning of war - the effectiveness in such things - is in the heart, in the determination, in the faith. it is in our beliefs in our country, in our god, everything that goes to make up america.
Country Determination War
Many think it not only inevitable but entirely proper that liberty give way to security in times of national crisis--that, at the extremes of military exigency, inter arma silent leges. whatever the general merits of the view that war silences law or modulates its voice, that view has no place in the interpretation and application of a constitution designed precisely to confront war and, in a manner that accords with democratic principles, to accommodate it.
Military War Thinking
The fans get to see you, and you can do great by your record if you have a great performance or a great night there. that's all part of the business. but at their core, awards shows are not really a sincere thing. for a lot of years, the artists had to pay to play their own set.
Artist Night Awards
I have issued the command, and i'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad, that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. accordingly, i have placed my death's-head formation in readiness, for the present only in the east, with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of polish derivation and language. only thus shall we gain the living space which we need. who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the armenians?
