In the <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.239218/gov.uscourts.dcd.239218.1.0.pdf">indictment</a>, federal prosecutors alleged that the plot included so-called "quick reaction forces" and a cache of weapons stored in a hotel room outside Washington, DC.The seditious conspiracy charge carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. It is perhaps the most serious charge prosecutors have brought in the nearly 800 criminal prosecutions stemming from the January 6 attack on the Capitol.During a virtual hearing Friday, Ulrich appeared to grow emotional as Judge Amit Mehta informed him of the possible prison sentence and a maximum fine of $250,000. At one point in the virtual hearing, Mehta asked Ulrich if he needed a moment."It's not going to get any easier," Ulrich replied.Ulrich became the second accused Oath Keeper to plead guilty to seditious conspiracy. In early March, Joshua James pleaded guilty as part of a similar deal with the Justice Department requiring him to cooperate with the January 6 investigation.In court documents, prosecutors alleged that Oath Keepers communicated over Signal — an encrypted messaging app — as they arranged to travel to Washington, DC, with paramilitary gear and supplies including firearms, tactical vests with plates, helmets, and radio equipment. According to the indictment, Ulrich joined an invitation-only Signal group titled "DC OP: Jan 6 21" on New Year's Eve in 2020. "The more patriots the merrier 'gonna be wild," he wrote in one message, according to prosecutors."I will be the guy running around with the budget AR," he added, in an apparent reference to an AR-15-style semi-automatic rifle.On January 6, prosecutors said, Ulrich rode in a golf cart to the Capitol, sometimes swerving around law enforcement. Once at the Capitol, Ulrich stood by two other alleged Oath Keepers as they taunted police officers guarding the Capitol building.Ulrich later joined a military-style "stack" formation and entered the Capitol through the east side rotunda doors, prosecutors said.Rhodes, the Oath Keepers leader, has <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keepers-leader-elmer-stewart-rhodes-capitol-attack-january-6-2022-2">remained</a> behind bars since his arrest earlier this year on charges linked to the January 6 attack. At a February hearing, Rhodes's defense lawyer noted that the Oath Keepers leader never gave the order to activate the "quick reaction force" that was on standby to bring weapons to Washington, DC.But Mehta found that Rhodes posed a "clear danger" and ruled there were no conditions for his release that would ensure the public's safety.Ulrich, for his part, has been free on his own recognizance as he's faced charges stemming from January 6. Mehta is set to hear arguments later Friday on whether to release another accused Oath Keeper, <keyword id="12999068" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="edward-vallejo" source="Orion">Edward Vallejo</keyword>, who was <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keeper-seditious-conspiracy-charge-january-6-capitol-prison-jail-2022-1?amp">charged</a> with overseeing the "quick reaction force."In court <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.239218/gov.uscourts.dcd.239218.107.0.pdf">papers</a> arguing for his continued detention, prosecutors pointed to a recorded call from jail in which Vallejo appeared to instruct his wife to conceal possible evidence against him."In addition to being a danger to the community, Vallejo appears to be obstructing justice even while held and communicating on a recorded line," prosecutors said. "If released, there are certainly no conditions that can assure that he would not attempt further obstruction."

Four other militia members are also on trial: Kelly Meggs, Kenneth Harrelson, Jessica Watkins, and Thomas Caldwell.In his testimony, Cummings admitted to bringing an AR-15 assault rifle and a box of ammunition with him to Virginia as a "show of force," per CBS. Cummings told the jury he kept the gun in a collective Oath Keepers' weapons stash at a Virginia hotel room instead of bringing it into DC."I had not seen that many weapons in one location since I was in the military," Cummings said during his testimony, per CBS.Cummings' testimony bolsters <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prosecutors-say-oath-keepers-likely-stored-jan-6-weapons-at-virginia-hotel">prosecutors' allegation</a> that the Oath Keepers used a room at a Comfort Inn in Arlington, Virginia, as a weapons storage.

The charge carries a maximum jail term of 20 years.Several other Oath Keepers — including <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keeper-guilty-plea-seditious-conspiracy-capitol-attack-substantial-assistance-2022-4" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brian Ulrich,</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keepers-leader-elmer-stewart-rhodes-donald-trump-january-6-2022-5" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Joshua James</a>, and <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/third-oath-keepers-defendant-pleads-guilty-sedition-capitol-riot-case-rcna27294" target="_blank" rel="noopener">William Todd Wilson</a> — have pleaded guilty to seditious conspiracy.

However, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/doj-oath-keeper-explosives-dc-jan-6-2022-7" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Justice Department</a> in July released a series of bombshell accusations against the group, alleging that some Oath Keepers brought explosives to the DC area on January 6, 2021, and had a "death list" of people they were targeting. They are now known as a far-right extremist group.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>A leaked database from the Oath Keepers extremist group contains more than 38,000 names.</li><li>The list includes 373 people stated to be working in law enforcement.</li></ul>A membership database containing some 38,000 names linked to the Oath Keepers extremist group includes hundreds of people running for or in public office, military officials, and law enforcement officers.A report on <a href="https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/Oath_Keepers">the list</a> was published on Tuesday by the <a href="https://www.adl.org/resources/report/oath-keepers-data-leak-unmasking-extremism-public-life">Anti-Defamation League</a>, which describes itself as an "anti-hate organization" that works to counter extremism and bigotry.The ADL's Center on Extremism wrote in its report that more than 600 people in professions with "power and influence" — such as elected officials, law enforcement officers, and first responders — were listed in the database. According to the group, the data was first obtained and published by journalist collective <a href="https://ddosecrets.com/wiki/Distributed_Denial_of_Secrets">Distributed Denial of Secrets</a> in September 2021 and contained information on those who had paid dues to the organization. The report indicated that 117 people on the Oath Keepers membership list were current military officers. It also identified 373 people who hold positions in law enforcement and 81 people who are either in or running for public office this year. According to the ADL's report, Texas, in particular, had the highest number of people — 3,300 — whose names are on the list. Texas also had the largest number of people in "trusted" professions, such as elected officials, who signed up to be part of the Oath Keepers.Per the ADL, Virginia had the highest number of armed forces personnel linked to the group. New York had the most law enforcement officers signed up to the database. The ADL acknowledged, however, that the list is not a comprehensive summary of extremist figures — as some people may have disavowed and left the group since and been one-time members. However, the ADL warned that it is "important to remember that the Oath Keepers have espoused extremism since their founding, and this fact was not enough to deter these individuals from signing up."<a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/09/01/oathkeepers-attorney-sorelle-arrested-jan6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Kellye SoRelle</a>, an attorney for the Oath Keepers, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider.The Oath Keepers were <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/right-wing-militias-civil-war/616473/">founded in 2009</a> by <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keepers-to-tell-jury-they-believed-trump-would-federalize-them-2022-6">Stewart Rhodes</a>, who has been charged in connection with the Capitol riot.The group first <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/11/right-wing-militias-civil-war/616473/">branded its members</a> as defenders of the Constitution and recruited police officers and military veterans to its ranks.

The footage reveals that Stone was furious with the outgoing president for failing to issue a blanket pardon to protect himself and other Trump allies who had tried to overturn the 2020 election. Stone had even created a "pardon wish list" that included Michael Sessa and Victor Orena, former members of the Colombo crime family serving life sentences for murder and racketeering convictions in the 1990s, according to The Post.On Inauguration day, Stone was filmed talking to a friend and savagely criticizing Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner – "he needs to have a beating" – before rounding on the former president dubbing him the "greatest single mistake in American history."Stone was also recorded saying he would support Trump's impeachment in a video published by The Post."I'm done with this president. I'm going to go public supporting impeachment. I have no choice. He has to go. He has to go. Run again! You'll get your fucking brains beat in," Stone said in the clip, appearing to mock any future presidential runs by Trump.However, a few weeks later, Stone said he would support a Trump 2024 presidential bid.In the footage, Stone seemed especially enraged that the former president had on that day<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-will-pardon-steve-bannon-cnn-2021-1"> pardoned his former chief strategist Steve Bannon</a>, who was facing federal fraud charges, The Post said.Stone and Bannon have long feuded after the latter <a href="https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/11/8/20955774/roger-stone-trial-steve-bannon-testimony">testified in Stone's 2019 obstruction trial</a>, which resulted in him being sentenced to 40 months in prison.

This hurts. It doesn't help."However, he repeated false claims about the 2020 election being stolen and suggested that violence was inevitable, The Post said.The footage also reveals that Stone met with and corresponded with members of far-right militia groups, including Oath Keepers leader Stewart Rhodes and Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio, before and after January 6.The <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/watch-roger-stone-flanked-by-oath-keepers-morning-capitol-riot-2021-2">cameras captured</a> Stone <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keepers-texted-in-early-jan-about-vip-security-for-roger-stone-2021-3">being guarded</a> on January 5 by multiple Oath Keepers, including Joshua James and Brian Ulrich, as well as James inside Stone's suite in the hours before the riot, The Post reported.<a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keepers-leader-arrested-in-january-6-capitol-riot-investigation-2022-1">Rhodes</a>, <a href="https://edition.cnn.com/2022/03/02/politics/oath-keeper-plea-deal-seditious-conspiracy/index.html">James</a>, and <a href="https://thecurrentga.org/2022/01/13/guyton-man-charged-with-sedition-along-with-insurrection-leaders/">Ulrich</a> have all been charged with seditious conspiracy concerning the Capitol riot.Stone denied any involvement in the Capitol riot in an email to The Post."Any claim, assertion or implication that I knew about, was involved in or condoned the illegal acts at the Capitol on Jan 6 is categorically false and there is no witness or document that proves otherwise," he said.He also suggested without proof that the video clips of him could be "deep fakes."Insider reached out to Roger Stone for comment but had not heard back at the time of publishing.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>"I just want to fight," the <keyword id="12254187" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="oath-keepers" source="Orion">Oath Keepers</keyword> leader said after failing to get through to Donald <keyword id="6354862" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="trump" source="Orion">Trump</keyword>.</li><li>The group's leader, Elmer Stewart Rhodes, spoke about the potential need for force on January 6.</li></ul>On the night of January 6, 2021, the leader of the far-right Oath Keepers armed group tried to speak with President Donald Trump and directly implore him to call on groups to help stop the certification of President-elect Joe Biden's electoral victory, according to court records.In a court filing Wednesday, prosecutors said Oath Keepers leader Elmer Stewart Rhodes gathered with members of the far-right militia at a Washington, DC, hotel and placed a call over speakerphone to an unidentified individual. During the call, "Rhodes repeatedly implored the individual to tell President Trump to call upon groups like the Oath Keepers to forcibly oppose the transfer of power," according to the court filing.After the recipient of the call declined to connect him with Trump, Rhodes told the group, "I just want to fight," according to the <a href="https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/21868071/wilsonfiling.pdf">court filing</a>.The court filing came in the case of William Todd Wilson, an Oath Keeper who pleaded guilty Wednesday to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of a congressional proceeding — a pair of felonies each carrying a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison — in connection with the January 6 attack on the Capitol. Wilson on Wednesday admitted that he entered the Capitol on January 6 and later gathered with Rhodes just blocks away, in a suite at the Phoenix Park Hotel, where he overhead the Oath Keeper founder's phone call.Prosecutors said Wilson, 45, conspired with Rhodes and other Oath Keepers to disrupt the peaceful transfer of power in January 2021. The plan included a cache of weapons stored in a hotel just outside Washington, DC, and so-called "quick reaction force" teams prepared to forcibly halt the certification of Biden's victory.Wilson agreed as part of the plea deal to cooperate with the Justice Department's ongoing investigation into the January 6 insurrection. He is expected to testify Thursday before a grand jury.His lawyer declined to comment Wednesday.The revelation of Rhodes' attempt to contact Trump offers insight into ties between the Oath Keepers and members of the then-sitting president's orbit. On the morning of January 6, Trump's longtime political ally Roger Stone appeared outside a hotel in Washington, DC, flanked by members of the Oath Keepers militia.In previous court filings, Rhodes indicated himself that the Oath Keepers were awaiting some official action from Trump in the aftermath of January 6. Rhodes' lawyers said in a February <a href="https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.239208/gov.uscourts.dcd.239208.46.0_1.pdf">court filing</a> "that there was a belief that President Donald Trump would invoke the Insurrection Act, necessitating a need for militias and other groups to defend that declaration" ahead of the inauguration set for January 20, 2021. "When that invocation did not come, Rhodes took no action, before or after, that could be considered seditious by any rational observer," Rhodes' lawyers said.The Insurrection Act allows the president to order the US military and National Guard troops to respond to rebellions inside the US, and does not pertain to armed civilian groups like Oath Keepers.With his guilty plea Wednesday, Wilson became the third Oath Keeper to admit to engaging in a seditious conspiracy.Brian Ulrich, 44, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/oath-keeper-guilty-plea-seditious-conspiracy-capitol-attack-substantial-assistance-2022-4">pleaded guilty last week</a> to seditious conspiracy and obstruction of an official proceeding, as part of a deal requiring him to provide "substantial assistance" to the Justice Department. Ulrich had been indicted in January along with 10 others, including Rhodes, on charges they coordinated a wide-ranging plot to forcibly impede the certification of the 2020 election results.In March, Joshua James pleaded guilty as part of a similar deal with the Justice Department requiring him to cooperate with the January 6 investigation.The seditious conspiracy charge is perhaps the most significant prosecutors have brought in the nearly 800 criminal prosecutions stemming from the January 6 attack on the Capitol. In the months since the insurrection, multiple members of the pro-Trump mob have pleaded guilty to charges related to the Capitol siege, and prosecutors have secured guilty verdicts in each of the four jury trials related to January 6.In the new court filing, prosecutors said Wilson heard Rhodes discuss on multiple occasions the potential need to s to "engage in force, up to and including lethal violence, in order to stop the transfer of power."Prosecutors have alleged that Rhodes and other Oath Keepers began plotting to oppose Biden's victory shortly after the 2020 election. Rhodes communicated directly over an encrypted messaging app with Wilson, whom prosecutors described as a "military and law enforcement veteran."In one phone call, Rhodes confirmed Wilson's hotel accommodations and urged him to "come prepared," prosecutors said in the court filing. Based on that directive, prosecutors said, Wilson drove from North Carolina to Washington, DC, with an AR- 15-style rifle, a 9-millimeter pistol, about 200 rounds of ammunition, body armor, a camouflaged combat uniform, pepper spray, a pocketknife, and a large walking stick intended for use as a weapon."Weeks earlier, on November 9, Wilson dialed into a "national call" Rhodes organized in which he outlined a plan to stop the certification of Biden's victory and urged other Oath Keepers to join him."You're from Oath Keepers. You got a responsibility and duty. You raised your freaking right hand. You swore that oath . . . You got to fight," Rhodes said, according to the court filing.On Wednesday, Wilson raised his right hand as he was placed under oath and admitted to the facts laid out in the court filing."Are you pleading guilty because you are, in fact, guilty?" Judge Amit Mehta asked him."Yes, your honor," he replied.

Not only did Marie Antoinette not utter these <keyword id="6355068" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="Words">words</keyword>, if she had, everyone probably misunderstood her.
In Jean-Jacques Rousseau's "Book 6" of his 12-volume autobiographical work, "Confessions," he writes, "At length I recollected the thoughtless saying of a great princess, who, on being informed that the countrypeople had no bread, replied, "Then let them eat pastry!" according to <a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/let-them-eat-cake.html"> Phrase Finder</a>.
Most people assume "great princess" refers to Marie Antoinette. But Rousseau wrote those words in 1767 - when Marie Antoinette was 12 years old. She also didn't marry Louis XVI until 1770.
Even if Marie Antoinette did utter the phrase, the original version in French, "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche," means "Let them eat brioche" - a type of crumbly French pastry (not unlike cake but not totally the same) eaten by the upperclass. The misinterpreted quote portrays Marie Antoinette as a callous patrician, unconcerned with the plight of the poor. But she could have meant the wealthy should stop monopolizing food and share with the lower classes - if she said it.
Other sources credit Marie-Therese, Marie Antoinette's eldest child (and the wife of Louis XIV).
2. "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." - not Voltaire
Voltaire didn't actually speak these words, but the idea does fall in line with his ideology.
In her well-known biography of the French philosopher, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Friends-Voltaire-S-G-Tallentyre/dp/1160008795">"Friends of Voltaire,"</a> Evelyn Beatrice Hall writes, "'I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it,' was his attitude now."
The author was paraphrasing how she thought Voltaire felt about a certain topic. Everyone just decided the quote was real.
3. "Standing on the shoulders of giants" - not Sir Isaac Newton
Perhaps the most well-known phrase attributed to Sir Isaac Newton, these words appeared in a letter Newton wrote to Robert Hooke, another English philosopher and mathematician. But Newton didn't coin the phrase himself. He was alluding to a simile said much earlier by Bernard of Chartres, a 12th-century man.
John of Salisbury wrote that Bernard of Chartres used to say that "we [the Moderns] are like dwarves perched on the shoulders of giants [the Ancients], and thus we are able to see more and farther than the latter."
4. "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure." - not Nelson Mandela 
This fanciful excerpt from the former South African president's 1994 inaugural address has floated around the Internet for years. The passage goes on:
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world ... As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
But crediting Mandela for these words right after getting out of prison seems downright ridiculous. Brian Morton puts it best in <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/30/opinion/falser-words-were-never-spoken.html?_r=0">The New York Times:</a>
"Picture it: Mr. Mandela, newly free after 27 years in prison, using his inaugural platform to inform us that we all have the right to be gorgeous, talented and fabulous, and that thinking so will liberate others," Morton writes.
In reality, self-help guru Marianne Williamson wrote these words in her 1989 spiritual best-seller, "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060927488/qid=1110256933/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/&quot;%20target=&quot;_blank">A Return To Love."</a> The <a href="http://www.marianne.com/">front page of her website</a> even boasts about the excerpt.
5. "Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter." - not Mark Twain/Jack Benny/Muhammad Ali
People throw this quote around all the time, accompanied by arbitrary attributions. With a little help from <a href="http://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/12/18/age-mind/#more-5042">Quote Investigator,</a> the problem becomes clear: No one knows who said it. The first reference found comes from an anonymous government researcher in 1968. "Aging is a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter."
Since then, the quote morphed to include "mind over matter." Comedian Jack Benny said it on his 80th birthday. A South Carolina newspaper credited Twain in 1970. And in 1981, Muhammad Ali flipped the phrase at a journalist while preparing for his last fight.
6. "Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind." - not Dr. Seuss
<a href="http://quoteinvestigator.com/2012/12/04/those-who-mind/">QI</a> also debunked this famous misconception. We'd like to think Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, would wholly support the concept, but the reality feels a little more depressing: No evidence of the phrase exists in any of his books, and a snarky engineer coined the original.
The quote first appeared in 1938 in a London journal for municipal and county engineers. An ambiguous "Mr. Davies" directed the words toward people who criticized his housing designs.
The phrase morphed into advice about seating arrangements and a poem used in The Wall Street Journal. Dr. Seuss didn't come into play until the 2000s, mostly in high school yearbooks.
7. "Well-behaved women rarely make <keyword id="29052" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="history">history</keyword>." - not Marilyn Monroe
In 2007, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich, a celebrated female historian, wrote a book titled, "Well-Behaved Women Rarely Make History." Some suspect she swiped the title of her best-seller from the 1950s' favorite buxom blonde: Marilyn Monroe.
But they're wrong. Ulrich first wrote the phrase in 1976 for an issue of "American Quarterly," according to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2007/09/30/books/review/harrison.html?pagewanted=all">The New York Times.</a> The original version refers to colonial woman in a very literal way. We know almost nothing about well-behaved, quiet women from that time period.
8. "There's a sucker born every minute." - not P.T. Barnum 
One of Barnum's biggest competitors and critics actually said this, according to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/P-T-Barnum-The-Legend-Man/dp/0231056877">"P.T. Barnum: The Legend And The Man,"</a> a biography by A.H. Saxon.
In a 1948 article in the "Bridgeport Post," the anonymous author asked Adam Forepaugh if he could quote him on the "sucker" statement.
"Just say it's one of Barnum's slogans which I am borrowing for the occasion. It sounds more like him than it does me anyway," Forepaugh replied.
Barnum did, however, say, "The people like to be humbugged," which somehow doesn't seem as rude.
9. "If you have to ask how much they are, you can't afford one." - not J.P. Morgan
No evidence exists that Morgan actually spoke these words, typically referenced as his response to an inquiry about the price of his lavish yachts. Biographer Jean Strouse doesn't think the quote fits Morgan's language style either, according to the <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=d6JZryGvfxYC&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;dq=The+Quotes+Verifier&amp;num=3&amp;client=internal-uds&amp;cd=1&amp;source=uds#v=twopage&amp;q=The%20Quotes%20Verifier&amp;f=true">The Quote Verifier</a>.
Strouse did, however, stumble upon a recording of Morgan's response to Henry Clay Pierce's question about his yacht's price. "You have no right to own a yacht if you ask that question," he said. Different words. Still uppity.
10."If you're not a liberal when you're 25, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative by the time you're 35, you have no brain." - not Winston Churchill
Churchill never said this, according to the <a href="http://www.winstonchurchill.org/learn/myths/myths/quotes-falsely-attributed-to-him" target="_blank" title="Churchill Centre and Museum">Churchill Centre and Museum</a> in London. In fact, Paul Addison of Edinburgh University mentions this: "Surely Churchill can't have used the words attributed to him. He'd been a Conservative at 15 and a Liberal at 35! And would he have talked so disrespectfully of Clemmie, who is generally thought to have been a lifelong Liberal?"
Instead, Francois Guizot coined the phrase in the 19th century. "Not to be a republican at 20 is proof of want of heart; to be one at 30 is proof of want of head."
11. "The ends justify the means." - not Niccolo Machiavelli
In "Heroides II," the Roman poet Ovid writes, "Exitus acta probat," which translates as "the outcome justifies the means." The closest Machiavelli comes to this idea, according to the <a href="http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/Politics/2011/0603/Political-misquotes-The-10-most-famous-things-never-actually-said/The-ends-justify-the-means.-Niccolo-Machiavelli">Christian Science Monitor,</a> occurs in "The Prince." He argues that people will always consider a prince's means as honest and praise him.
Considering he dedicated the book to the Medici family, who later arrested and tortured him, Machiavelli may have written the entire book satirically.
12. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - not Albert Einstein
Different versions of this quote<a href="http://www.salon.com/2013/08/06/the_definition_of_insanity_is_the_most_overused_cliche_of_all_time/"> appear everywhere</a> (doing the same thing twice, expecting the same result, etc.), and we owe none of them to Einstein.
After Michael Becker, an editor at the <a href="http://www.bozemandailychronicle.com/">Bozeman Daily Chronicle</a> (a local paper in Montana), let the wrong version slide into an editorial, he did some research on his <a href="http://www.news.hypercrit.net/2012/11/13/einstein-on-misattribution-i-probably-didnt-say-that/">personal blog.</a>
Becker traced the original back to Rita Mae Brown, the mystery novelist. In her 1983 book "Sudden Death," she attributes the quote to a fictional "Jane Fulton," writing, "Unfortunately, Susan didn't remember what Jane Fulton once said. 'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.'"
Now, go throw away half your coffee mugs and inspirational posters.
