A Wise Prince Must Never Take Things

The Envious Die Not Once, But As Oft As The Envied Win Applause.

Excellence Resides In Quality, Not In Quantity. The Best Is Always Few And Rare; Much Lowers Value.

Mediocrity Obtains More With Application Than Superiority Without It.

You Can Cultivate Taste, As You Can The Intellect. Full Understanding Whets The Appetite And Desire, And, Later, Sharpens The Enjoyment Of Possession.

He Who Puts Off Nothing Till Tomorrow Has Done A Great Deal.
