Another Great Italian

NP: iPod on shuffle

Andrew Sullivan flags the following quote, in reference to Mitt Romney:

"Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times." -- Niccolo Machiavelli

Some of you might recognize that as remarkably similar to a quote I hold near and dear to my heart. Or at least to my e-mail signature for the past fifteen years:

"Hipness is transient. You've got to change in order to continually be hip." -- Vinnie Colaiuta

I even went and found the original interview I lifted that from, nearly twenty years ago.

No, I'm not saying Mitt Romney is hip. I'm just sayin'.

Comments

(Edited to fix some of the bad grammar):

People whose sig quotes haven't changed in 15 years are a dying breed...
