Now whom might we apply this to today?

“It is the madness of folly, to expect mercy from those who have refused to do justice; and even mercy, where conquest is the object, is only a trick of war; the cunning of the fox is as murderous as the violence of the wolf.” —Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, No. 1, 1776

• Sessions
  "Sessions keeps track of your open windows and tabs for you, with automatic periodic backups for easy and robust session restoration across launches. If the current panoply of tabs gets to be too much for either you or Safari, simply save a snapshot of the session at any time and start fresh, secure in the knowledge that you can go back and revisit all of those links in their associated context at your future leisure."
