“He that is taken and put into prison or chains is not conquered, though overcome; for he is still an enemy.”
Thomas Hobbes
“We meet on the broad pathway of good faith and good will; no advantage shall be taken on either side, but all shall be openness and love. I will not call you children, -- for parents sometimes chide their children too severely; nor brothers only, -- for brothers differ. The friendship between me and you I will not compare to a chain; for that the rains might rust, or the falling tree might break. We are the same as if one man's body were to be divided into two parts, we are all one flesh and blood.”
William Penn
“Sovereignty is not given, it is taken.”
Kemal Ataturk

William Shakespeare
“Advice is sought to confirm a position already taken.”
William Osler
“You should not have taken advantage of my sensibility to steal into my affections without my consent.”
Alexander Hamilton
“It is the same in love as in war; a fortress that parleys is half taken.”
Marguerite De Valois
