I Like a Good Quote
Interesting. From a book about Suleiman, Sultan and ruler of the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s - a song/nursery rhyme.
[quote]To hold a land you need armed men,
To keep armed men you share out property,
To have property you need a rich folk,
Only by laws can you make folk rich—
If one of these lacks, all four will lack,
Where all four lack, the land is lost.[/quote]
