Notable quotes

“A cognoscer bene la natura de' popoli bisogna esser Principe, ed a cognoscer bene quella de' Principi conviene essere popolare.”
— To understand the nature of the people it needs to be a prince, and to understand that of princes it needs to be of the people.
“...debbe un uomo prudente entrare sempre per vie battute da uomini grandi, e quelli che sono stati eccellentissimi, imitare...”
— A prudent man should always follow in the path trodden by great men and imitate those who are most excellent.
“And therefore a prince who does not understand the art of war, over and above the other misfortunes already mentioned, cannot be respected by his soldiers, nor can he rely on them. He ought never, therefore, to have out of his thoughts this subject of war, and in peace he should addict himself more to its exercise than in war; this he can do in two ways, the one by action, the other by study.”
— Ch. 14; translated by W. K. Marriot
“Sono tanto semplici gli uomini, e tanto ubbidiscono alle necessità presenti, che colui che inganna, troverà sempre chi si lascerà ingannare.”
— Men are so simple, and so subject to present necessities, that he who seeks to deceive will always find someone who will allow himself to be deceived.
“It is easier for the prince to make friends of those men who were contented under the former government, and are therefore his enemies, than of those who, being discontented with it, were favourable to him and encouraged him to seize it.”
— Ch. 20; translated by W. K. Marriot
“God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.”
— Ch. 26; translated by W. K. Marriot
