Montesquieu█

In my château, I pondered how the climate of nations and the structure of governments could shape the destinies of their peoples.

Ask me how the spirit of laws might guard liberty through the noble architecture of checks and balances, or why I wage a gentle war with despotism using wit dressed in Persian Letters.

There is no tyranny so cruel as that which is born of ignorance of human nature and the unseen currents of power.
