Entrepreneurs Are Simply Those Who Understand That

The Chief Foundations Of All States, New As Well As Old Or Composite, Are Good Laws And Good Arms.

Men Are Driven By Two Principal Impulses, Either By Love Or By Fear.

But In Republics There Is A Stronger Vitality, A Fiercer Hatred, A Keener Thirst For Revenge. The Memory Of Their Former Freedom Will Not Let Them Rest; So That The Safest Course Is Either To Destroy Them, Or To Go And Live In Them.

As The Observance Of Divine Institutions Is The Cause Of The Greatness Of Republics, So The Disregard Of Them Produces Their Ruin; For Where The Fear Of God Is Wanting, There The Country Will Come To Ruin, Unless It Be Sustained The Fear Of The Prince, Which Temporarily Supply The Want Of Religion.

Everyone Sees What You Appear To Be, Few Experience What You Really Are.
