For This Is The Tragedy Of Man

For Without Invention, No One Was Ever A Great Man In His Own Trade.

He Who Blinded By Ambition, Raises Himself To A Position Whence He Cannot Mount Higher, Must Thereafter Fall With The Greatest Loss.

The Princes Who Have Done Great Things Are The Ones Who Have Taken Little Account Of Their Promises.

The Leader Should Know How To Enter Into Evil When Necessity Commands.

It Is A True Observation Of Ancient Writers, That As Men Are Apt To Be Cast Down By Adversity, So They, Are Easily Satiated With Prosperity, And That Joy And Grief Produce The Same Effects. For Whenever Men Are Not Obliged By Necessity To Fight They Fight From Ambition, Which Is So Powerful A Passion In The Human Breast That However High We Reach We Are Never Satisfied.
