Let A Prince Be Guarded With Soldiers,

He Who First Called Money The Sinews Of The State Seems To Have Said This With Special Reference To War.

He Who Least Likes Courting Favour, Ought Also Least To Think Of Resenting Neglect; To Feel Wounded At Being Refused A Distinction Can Only Arise From An Overweening Appetite To Have It.

Where Two Discourse, If The Anger Of One Rises, He Is The Wise Man Who Lets The Contest Fall.

Pompey Bade Sylla Recollect That More Worshipped The Rising Than The Setting Sun.

Lamentation Is The Only Musician That Always, Like A Screech-owl, Alights And Sits On The Roof Of Any Angry Man.
