Which statement from Confessions Book XI best exemplifles St. Augustine's conclusion about how one can truly define time?
"...nor will I endure the questions of men, who by a penal disease thirst for more than they can contain, and say, 'what did God before
He made heaven and earth?' Or, 'How came It Into His mind to make any thing, having never before made any thing?"
"It is in thee, my mind, that I measure times. Interrupt me not, that is, Interrupt not thyself with the tumults of thy impressions."
"Before I begin, my expectation is extended over the whole; but when I have begun, how much soever of it I shall separate off into
the past, is extended along my memory; thus the life of this action of mine is divided between my memory as to what I have repeated,
and expectation as to what I am about to repeat; but consideration" is present with me..."
"Let them see therefore, that time cannot be without created being, and cease to speak that vanity. May they also be extended
towards those things which are before; and understand Thee before all times, the eternal Creator of all times, and that no times be
coeternal with Thee, nor any creature, even if there be any creature before all times"

Read this paragraph from chapter 5 of the prince. there are, for example, the spartans and the romans. the spartans held athens and thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. the romans, in order to hold capua, carthage, and numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. they wished to hold greece as the spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. so to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. and he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. and whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the florentines. what idea is stressed in the passage? the desire for liberty the establishment of an oligarchy the dismantling of an acquired state the tendency toward rebellion
