"[W]hen dominions are acquired in a province differing in language, laws, and customs, the difficulties to be overcome are great...the best and most certain means of [retaining them] would be for the new ruler to take up his residence there. Disorders can be seen as they arise and can be quickly remedied, but living at a distance, they are only heard of when they get beyond remedy."
- Niccoló Machiavelli
The Prince, chapter 3
"Let them what's got ears to hear, eyes to see, and a taxpayer-funded jumbo jet take note. 'Nuff said!"
