More From Francesco Guicciardini

Experience Has Always Shown, And Reason Also, That Affairs Which Depend On Many Seldom Succeed.

To Relinquish A Present Good Through Apprehension Of A Future Evil Is In Most Instances Unwise ... From A Fear Which May Afterwards Turn Out Groundless, You Lost The Good That Lay Within Your Grasp.

Waste No Time With Revolutions That Do Not Remove The Causes Of Your Complaints But Simply Change The Faces Of Those In Charge.

Keep Your Eye Fixed Not So Much On What They [people] Ought In Reason To Do, As On What They Are Likely To Do Based On Their Disposition And Habits.

He Who Imitates What Is Evil Always Goes Beyond The Example That Is Set; On The Contrary, He Who Imitates What Is Good Always Falls Short.
