[Great Order]

"It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was “policeman.” If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers."

- Terry Pratchett, Snuff

Hey Novel I don't think your quotes count if you made them up, or are you just quoting yourself?

Please allow 1-2 billing cycles for updated to appear on your bill.

Yay "updated", just what I wanted!  (Such quality control! Instills confidence...)

Also... seriously WTF, you are going to take 30-60 days to give me credit I'm due?  I bet they aren't going to give me interest on that.  Need to figure out how to bill them for it... can you imagine if I told them it might take 1 or 2 billing cycles for me for my payments to update to their new higher costs when they raise them?

Right on!  In that case

Humans will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest.

(This only applies to nobility.  Short kings and titular kings are good (Noble queens are not))

Apparently that was inspired by a Denis Diderot but it's not what he actually said. 

Spoiler: His poem with translation (click to show/hide)

J'en atteste les temps; j'en appelle à tout âge;
I of them attest the times; I of them appeal to all age;
I display the times; I appeal to the age

Jamais au public avantage
Never to the public advantages
The public never has the advantage

L'homme n'a franchement sacrifié ses droits;
The man not has clearly sacrificed his rights;
Certainly, mankind has not sacrificed his rights;

S'il osait de son cœur n'écouter que la voix,
If he dared of his heart not to hear but that the voice,
If mankind dared but to listen to the voice of his heart,

Changeant tout à coup de langage,
changing all at a blow of language,
changing suddenly the language,

Il nous dirait, comme l'hôte des bois:
He to us would say, as the host of the woods:
He would say to us, as he would to the animals of the woods:

La nature n'a fait ni serviteur ni maître;
The nature not has made neither servant nor master;
Nature created neither servant nor master;

Je ne veux ni donner ni recevoir de lois.
I not see neither to give nor receive of law.
I seek neither to rule nor to serve.

Et ses mains ourdiraient les entrailles du prêtre,
And his hands would weave the entrails of the priest,
And his hands would weave the entrails of the priest,

Au défaut d'un cordon pour étrangler les rois.
To the lack of a cord for to strangle the kings.
For the lack of a cord with which to strangle kings.

Solidarity forever~
