for the greeks, reason, both aristotle and plato thought that reason ruled the way the world worked and the way human societies worked and he said that politics is the knowledge by which we make men good. that is not machiavelli's philosophy. machiavelli believed and he says this, he says that many have believed, have written about societies that never were and never could be. i want to show you the way men really are. so i think in the broadest sense, he was the first to sort of look at men as they really are, and to say, ok, men are selfish, they're ambitious, they're deceitful. how can we build a government based on this premise, and i think certainly the founding fathers had a very similar attitude towards politics, that men are basically ambitious, untrustworthy, known -- no one has a monopoly on the truth. this is why we have to balance one group against another, this is why we have our checks and our balances. madison famously said, in one of the federal papers -- i don't remember which -- that ambition must be made to counteract ambition, and by that balancing of opposing intere

when aristotle wrote a book when he was writing about what it is to live an ethical life and what it means to make a difference in the community and the city, as a book he divides it into 10 each chapter addresses a single subject. that subject is friendship. what aristotle argues is, he says it is people who are your friends more than any philosophy you can study, more than any quotation you can carry with you that will have a transformative effect on the person who you are. so in every single one of these endeavors i talked about my teachers in my boxing coach and my field instructors and as i looked around i saw so many, i'm so i am so blessed to see so many here. if i were going to attribute anything, any measure of success i have been able to have it is because i have had wonderful friends around. >> first, i want to thank you so much for the presentation. it was very inspiring and i am interested to hear more about your experience in a country like iraq and how being part of the american military and serving in the country which could seem to be hostile to the u.s., how did you

of first of all let me express my sympathy to the friends and families of those who died in the aristotle plane crash i am very pleased to be here in the kremlin with president medvedev today i think it is a year since we first met in canada and we've had good meetings since then because britain shares with russia many interests and challenges from trade to security at home and abroad from culture to education and sport and research britain as the president has said invests more here than almost any other country and our bilateral trade is worth almost twelve billion pounds and accelerating we work together to counter piracy in the indian ocean and on issues like iran in the middle east peace process and financial stability in the g eight and g twenty almost all of which we've discussed this morning so as i said at moscow state university this morning if we can build a stronger relationship i believe both our countries will gain of course it's no secret that there are difficult issues where we differ we can't pretend these don't exist we must continue to have frank discussions about them

know we're in a position which looks a lot like a that social disaster there but he was afraid of aristotle we're here today he would think the distinction between someone pulling into debt and selling their children into slavery and someone in debt renting themselves and their family into going to work for somebody else would be probably illegal istic distinction. now on the other hand i think there is reason to hope because well i mean. we're talking five hundred year cycles here forty years is nothing i mean maybe they got it wrong the first round but there's a lot of room to fix things up ok well in this area of subject of hope i was just looking on the web and stumbled upon a story about kiva dot org which is a peer to peer lending site and over three hundred fifty thousand individuals in the first world loaned money to three hundred fifty thousand people in the third world micro loans. exactly what you're saying was going on five thousand years ago they've extended credit. terms that are reasonable and they have boosted the economy in huge ways so i mean that's a hopeful sign i suppos
