Quote of the Day

Niccola Machiavelli (1469-1527) was an Italian statesman, often credited with being the father of political science. Here's a particularly insightful comment from one of his books:

"Men ever praise the olden time, and find fault
with the present, though often without reason....
Having grown old, they also laud all they
remember to have seen in their youth. Their
opinion is generally erroneous.... We never
know the whole truth about the past."
