they came first for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up.” --Martin Niemöller, 1945

Niccolo Machiavelli wrote, "he who wishes to see what is to come should observe what has already happened because all the affairs of the world, in every age, have their individual counterparts in ancient times."
