The Quotidian Quote

The next person who writes

As Lord Acton said, power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely, or

As Clausewicz said, war is a continuation of politics by other means,

or misattributes Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, to Sun-Tzu is going to suffer a severe case of gonadus Sevareid, courtesy of me.

You want a quote? I'll give you a quote:

"The Barbary ape is quite similar to the Toureg, although the ape is a more sophisticated pickpocket. Hic!"

See? These things practically write themselves.
