View Full Version : Anyone know this quote?
I think it was Greek or Roman.
It went along the lines of if you want to prevent rebellion or insurrection remove the sprite it and the ability of the people to think of such things.
It may have included a part about were if they even posse spears they will never even conceive to use them.
Anyone have the faints idea of any quote like this?
I read it one night and like a fool I did not email it to myself?

No idea. But if I were going to take away their Sprite I'd probably take the 7-Up too. They're pretty much the same thing anyways. [Coffee]

Nothing worse than a spear posse !!!
Sounds like a quote from Machiavelli's "The Prince"
Sorry only thing to add was a smartass comment. No idea of quote haven't read many books outside of textbooks.

You could link the exact quote to the OP and he still would not be able to locate it. Remember this is a "person" who is looking for or wanting to be Mr. Right.

mØØse bites can be veri nasti!
NØ reali! She was Karving her initials Øn the mØØse with the sharpened end of an interspace tØØthbrush given her by Svenge - her brother-in-law -an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian mØvies: :The HØt Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge MØlars of Horst Nordfink"...

Last July I was at the castle from the opening credits - Kidwelly Castle in Wales. Unfortunately, my wife was not a good sport and wouldn't take command of the camera so I could reenact the opening scene so I opted for embarrassing her by taking a selfie whilst in the medieval latrine in the castle :D

No, but there was a slight hint of elderberries in the air.

There was a bird of prey rescue on the castle grounds that day so all of the hamsters were in hiding for fear of being spotted by an unladen swallow.
