Yogi;

<<Machiavelli analogizes Fortune to a river, a contemplative force that directs its path through weakness "where she knows that dikes and embankments are not constructed to hold her" >>

Not too surprising that. Machiavelli and Da Vinci were collaborators in a little recalled scheme regarding the diversion of a river. For a really fascinating read check out amazon.com

We could discuss Machiavelli all day long I suspect, but he was so little understood for so long that it is the remediation of his life and work in a historical and philosophical context that I find fascinating. This has only occurred within the last 2-3 decades as I recall and a vaguely also recall that it had something to do with a book by a SMU business school professor. My memory faculties may be flagging on this score. Anyway, thanks for the discourse on Il Principe.

Best,
Stitch
