More from Machiavelli
"To conquer a people, and then not to live among them, is to lose them."
"A prudent man should always follow in the path of great men and imitate those who have been most excellent, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savour of it."
"For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often even more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are."
"He who conquers a province in a foreign country, and does not establish his residence there, is in great danger of losing it."
"A prince must not have any other object nor any other thought… but war, its institutions, and its discipline; because that is the only art befitting one who commands."
