Princes Should Delegate To Others The Enactment

A Prince Never Lacks Legitimate Reasons To Break His Promise.

When They Remain In Garrison, Soldiers Are Maintained With Fear And Punishment; When They Are Then Led To War, With Hope And Reward.

The More Sand Has Escaped From The Hourglass Of Our Life, The Clearer We Should See Through It.

The Prince Must Consider, As Has Been In Part Said Before, How To Avoid Those Things Which Will Make Him Hated Or Contemptible; And As Often As He Shall Have Succeeded He Will Have Fulfilled His Part, And He Need Not Fear Any Danger In Other Reproaches.

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