Renaissance Men

Famous quotes containing the words renaissance and/or men:

    People nowadays like to be together not in the old-fashioned way of, say, mingling on the piazza of an Italian Renaissance city, but, instead, huddled together in traffic jams, bus queues, on escalators and so on. It’s a new kind of togetherness which may seem totally alien, but it’s the togetherness of modern technology.
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men ... you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself.
    James Madison (1751–1836)
