Welcome Capn' Arr
I have a plan: attack!
Machiavelli was a follower of Tsun Zu?...
I don't believe so.

I was referring to the title...and believed that Tsun Zu came first before Maciavelli
Ahh, yes, Tsun Zu (sp.) did come before Niccolo, but I think the two are unrelated.

Maybe he got inspired in a way?
Nevermind
Ha, we have "The LOST Art of War" on our shelves...never opened it, as with many of our books, but this one is by... ah! Sun Tzu. (Different spelling, or different author?)
After silence, that which comes closest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.

Non scholae, sed vitae discimus.
Not school, but life teaches us.
There have been many interpretations of his name (some even claiming that he was not a real person but a name underwhich the works were collected) I guess it be a bit like shakespeare, always some controversy!

.....I remain........confused.
(Statesman) Machiavelli....1469-1527 A.D.
