    Thanks. (It's him.) In honor of the gun control thread:

    I think it was more modern than Thomas Jefferson. I know I've heard it fairly recently. :bang:

    Nakia, sorry, but Morgoroth is right. I imagine you heard it recently because the gun lobby loves it.

    Yay for Morgoroth! It probably does get quoted a lot by gun lobbiest and supporters.

    Heh, I knew it was probably one of the founding fathers and guessed one of them and apparently it was correct. ;)

    "The best politicial weapon is the weapon of terror. Cruelty commands respect. Men may hate us, but we don't ask for their love; only for their fear."

    I wonder why all of my quotes have had more or less something to do with politics? :shake:

    probably wrong since nobody has guessed this and since it refers to a "we" but is it Machiavelli from the prince? he said something about being feared as opposed to being loved.

    Being part Jewish I'm hardly likely to forget this one
    Reichsmarshall-SS Heinrich Himmler

    EDIT: The Macchiavelli quote is It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both

    Reichsfuhrer SS Heinrich Himmler actually. Goering was the only one with the title of Reichsmarschall in Nazi Germany. Anyway apart from that it was correct so it's your turn DarkStrider. ;)

    There are many versions of this one, I think this is the most usual of them:

    And now this

    Perception is strong and sight weak. In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things.
