Time for you and time for me, And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions,

A science teacher gives the presentation assignment below.Let’s make our families earth-friendly. Consider whether or not your family respects the environment. Discuss your routines and practices with your parents, and determine your family’s "footprint.” Then, suggest to your peers one earth-friendly effort that every family should make.

They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed.

By describing the actions taken by the Spartans and the Romans, Machiavelli sets up a comparison with the actions of other conquering forces discussed in the chapter.
