    Thanks for the inspiration! I've got now more space in my hallway. And my shoe tray now contains shoes (and not a Brompton) again. 😁

    Some more things visible: #LumosUltra helmet with #MonkeyMirror and reflective stickers from #ReflectiveBerlin on the Bromptons, although not reflecting in this pic.

  5. «Se eu soubesse de alguma coisa que me fosse útil e fosse prejudicial à minha família, expulsá-la-ia do meu espírito. Se soubesse de alguma coisa útil à minha família e que o não fosse à minha pátria, tentaria esquecê-la. Se soubesse de alguma coisa útil à minha pátria e que fosse prejudicial à Europa, ou que fosse útil à Europa e prejudicial ao género humano, considerá-la-ia um crime, porque sou homem necessariamente, ao passo que sou francês somente por acaso.»

  6. A quotation from Montesquieu

    Extreme obedience assumes ignorance in the one who obeys; it assumes ignorance even in the one who commands; he does not have to deliberate, to doubt, or to reason; he has only to want.
     
    [L’extrême obéissance suppose de l’ignorance dans celui qui obéit; elle en suppose même dans celui qui commande: il n’a point à délibérer, à douter, ni à raisonner; il n’a qu’à vouloir.]

    Charles-Lewis de Secondat, Baron de Montesquieu (1689-1755) French political philosopher
    Spirit of Laws [The Spirit of the Laws; De l’esprit des lois], Book 4, ch. 3 (4.3) (1748) [tr. Cohler/Miller/Stone (1989)]

  7. A quotation from Montesquieu

    It is not the young people that degenerate: they are not spoilt till those of maturer age are already sunk into corruption.

  8. Montesquieu :
    - Lettres persanes (1721) : reflexion sur le #despotisme -> il règne le "bras levé" ;
    - L'Esprit des Lois (1748) : mis à l'index par le Pape -> la #liberte existe quand le citoyen se sait affranchi de la #menace qu'une autorité despotique fait peser sur lui.

  9. Het Montesquieu instituut zet #BBB weg als een centrumrechtse partij op grond van hun stemgedrag. Men houdt er geen rekening mee dat rechts nu is wat extreemrechts voorheen was. En dat het programma van BBB veel meer enge ideeën bevat. Tegelijk zijn die ideeën tegenwoordig aardig mainstream. Bah #IgniteTheRight

  20. A quotation from Montesquieu

    For it is clear that in a monarchy, where the person who executes the laws holds himself above them, less virtue is required than in a popular government, where the person who executes the laws is aware that he himself is subject to them and that he will feel their weight.
     
    [Car il est clair que, dans une monarchie, où celui qui fait exécuter les loix se juge au-dessus des loix, on a besoin de moins de vertu que dans un gouvernement populaire, où celui qui fait exécuter les loix, sent qu’il y est soumis lui-même, & qu’il en portera le poids.]
