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
We are masters of the unsaid words, but slaves of those we let slip out
You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension
Four things were useless wealth without Expenditure in the way of Allah; Knowledge without practice; Piety for the sake of show prompted by worldliness Long life with no stock of good deeds
The remedy from poverty is not to bear grudges against the rich.
Intelligence is based on how efficient a species became at doing the things they need to survive
Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment
