The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.
Italian diplomat, politician, historian, philosopher, humanist, writer, playwright and poet of the Renaissance period.
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command
Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves
Appear as you may wish to be
Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times
Where the willingness is great, the difficulties cannot be great
It is not titles that honour men, but men that honour titles
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it
Lightning makes no sound until it strike
Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure
Public sentiment is everything. With public sentiment, nothing can fail. Without it, nothing can succeed
I would prefer an intelligent hell to a stupid paradise
The death of dogma is the birth of morality
