          In their own words:''Roman,let the feeble Greeks study the arts and the sciences;your role is to bring thy laws and government to the world''.Can't remember which poet said it ,right now.

          He said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one. Luke 22:36
