Minds are of three kinds: one is capable of thinking for itself; another is able to understand the thinking of others; and a third can neither think for itself nor understand the thinking of others. The first is of the highest excellence, the second is excellent, and the third is worthless.
Machiavelli
[The Prince, Daniel Donno translation, Bantam, 1966, 1981 p. 80]
