"Since a prince is necessitated to play the animal well, he chooses among the beasts the fox and the lion, because the lion does not protect himself from traps; the fox does not protect himself from wolves. The prince must be a fox, therefore, to recognize the traps and a lion to frighten the wolves." - Niccolo Machiavelli --Selected quotes from Niccol Machiavelli now at your fingertipsAn engaging way to explore the ideas and philosophy of MachiavelliIdeal for casual reading, discovering ideas, and finding inspirationMakes a thoughtful gift choice for curious minds-- "Just as good morals, if they are to be maintained, have need of the laws, so the laws, if they are to be observed, have need of good morals." - Niccolo Machiavelli -- "In order not to have to rob his subjects, to be able to defend himself, not to become poor and contemptible, and not to be forced to become rapacious, a prince must consider it of little importance if he incurs the reputation of being a miser, for this is one of the vices that permits him to rule." - Niccolo Machiavelli
