All The Armed Prophets Conquered;

It Makes Him Contemptible To Be Considered Fickle, Frivolous, Effeminate, Mean-spirited, Irresolute, From All Of Which A Prince Should Guard Himself As From A Rock; And He Should Endeavour To Show In His Actions Greatness, Courage, Gravity, And Fortitude; And In His Private Dealings With His Subjects Let Him Show That His Judgments Are Irrevocable, And Maintain Himself In Such Reputation That No One Can Hope Either To Deceive Him Or To Get Round Him.

There Is No Other Way To Guard Yourself Against Flattery Than By Making Men Understand That Telling You The Truth Will Not Offend You.

Where The Willingness Is Great, The Difficulties Cannot Be Great.

Benefits Should Be Conferred Gradually; And In That Way They Will Taste Better.

Since The Handling Of Arms Is A Beautiful Spectacle, It Is Delightful To Young Men.
