“An empire founded by war has to maintain itself by war.”
Charles de Montesquieu
“This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire”
Voltaire
“We're going to war again, another cycle. It's like a high-tech version of the Roman Empire all over again. We won't break these cycles until we start going inside and questioning our own selves - we keep looking outside for answers, when really the solution and the answers are inside us all.”
Dave Davies

John Karevoll
“He established the largest empire ever seen on the continent of Africa. Egypt's 25th Dynasty, which he founded, was actually Nubian, and ruled for nearly a century.”
Geoff Emberling
“Great Britain has lost an empire and has not yet found a role.”
Dean Acheson
“A great empire, like a great cake, is most easily diminished at the edges.”
Benjamin Franklin
