Hence It Comes That All Armed Prophets

Men Are More Ready To Offend One Who Desires To Be Beloved Than One Who Wishes To Be Feared.

Hence It Happened That All The Armed Prophets Conquered, All The Unarmed Perished. [it., Di Qui Nacque Che Tutti Li Profeti Armati Vincero, E Li Disarmati Rovinarono.]

He Who Wishes To Be Obeyed Must Know How To Command.

Never Was Anything Great Achieved Without Danger.

And It Will Always Happen That He Who Is Not Your Friend Will Request Your Neutrality And He Who Is Your Friend Will Ask You To Declare Yourself By Taking Up Arms. And Irresolute Princes, In Order To Avoid Present Dangers, Follow The Neutral Road Most Of The Time, And Most Of The Time They Are Ruined.
