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
Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again
Both optimists and pessimists contribute to society. The optimist invents the aeroplane, the pessimist the parachute
Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime
Difficulties mastered are opportunities won
It is the State which educates its citizens in civic virtue, gives them a consciousness of their mission and welds them into unity
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams
