  Quotes [return][return]That s how it is in our parts. You may hate the foreigner, but most of all you hate your neighbor. And if the foreigner helps us harm our neighbor, then he s welcome.[return][return]At court I have learned a few things: if you are with great men, you also become great; great men in reality are very small; power is everything, and there is no reason why one day you could not seize it yourself, at least in part.[return][return]I don t know why these passages lingered in my mind, but they did. The former probably because, while it was speaking of 12th century Italy, still holds true today. The latter because it holds close to what I think about position and power. There is very little separating many powerful people in the world from many vagabond existances, save circumstance.
