Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (Niccolo Machiavelli) Quotes
And it will always happen that he who is not your friend will request your neutrality and he who is your friend will ask you to declare yourself by taking up arms.

The realization about this may lead us to a defence position that conceals that democracy is an extraordinarily demanding way of rule.

Democracy is based on fairness, openness and pulsating life. Therefore it must constantly be won again.
