    Looking for help in tracking down a quote (and author) which goes something like this:

    ‘For those who do not submit(?) there is alcohol, suicide will take care of the rest.’

    Not too sure of the context – idleness, governance, conformity?

    I heard someone quoting it in a radio interview some time ago.

    I was sure it was Machiavelli but can’t find any reference.

    Ring a bell for anyone?

    Feel free to move if post is inappropriate for forum.
