• The souls of emperors and cobblers are cast in the same mold...The same reason that makes us wrangle with a neighbor creates a war betwixt princes.

    Michel de Montaigne: The souls of emperors and cobblers are cast in the same mold...The same reason that makes us wrangle with a neighbor creates a war betwixt princes.
    "Essais" by Michel de Montaigne, Book II, Ch. 12, 1595.
