Success Rarely Brings Satisfaction.

A Wise Prince Must Never Take Things Easy In Times Of Peace.

Nature Scarcely Ever Gives Us The Very Best; For That We Must Have Recourse To Art.

To Keep Is More Important Than To Make Friends.

Some Are Satisfied To Stand Politely Before The Portals Of Fortune And To Await Her Bidding; Better Those Who Push Forward, Who Employ Their Enterprise, Who On The Wings Of Their Worth And Valor Seek To Embrace Luck, And To Effectively Gain Her Favor.

There Is No Wilderness Like A Life Without Friends.
