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
No man is good enough to govern another man without the other’s consent
A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence
Virtue pardons the wicked, as the sandal-tree perfumes the axe which strikes it
There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are
The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood
