Concealed Talent Brings No Reputation.

Everybody Hates A Prodigy, Detests An Old Head On Young Shoulders.

Concealed Talent Brings No Reputation.

He Who Shuns The Millstone, Shuns The Meal.

No Man Is Wise At All Times, Or Is Without His Blind Side.

Picture The Prince, Such As Most Of Them Are Today: A Man Ignorant Of The Law, Well-nigh An Enemy To His People's Advantage, While Intent On His Personal Convenience, A Dedicated Voluptuary, A Hater Of Learning, Freedom And Truth, Without A Thought For The Interests Of His Country, And Measuring Everything In Terms Of His Own Profit And Desires.
