For Reference:



"A Prince therefore being compelled knowingly to adopt the beast ought choose the Fox & Lion because the Lion cannot defend himself against snares & the Fox cannot defend himself against Wolves. Therefore it is necessary to be a Fox to discover the snares & a Lion to terrify the Wolves."


(Those who rely simply on the Lion do not understand what they are about.)

Title: The Prince Author: Nicolo Machiavelli Translator: W. K. Marriott Release Date: March, 1998 Language: English The Project Gutenberg eBook of The Prince, by Nicolo Machiavelli gutenberg.org/files/1232/123


CHAPTER XIV. THAT WHICH CONCERNS A PRINCE ON THE SUBJECT OF THE ART OF WAR "A Prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than War and its rules and discipline"



But to exercise the intellect the Prince should read histories & study the actions of illustrious men to see how they have borne themselves in war to examine causes of their victories& defeat so as to avoid the latter & imitate the former as Alexander the Great imitated Achilles


Achilles & many other Princes of old were given to the Centaur Chiron who brought them up in his discipline; which means solely that as they had for a teacher one who was half beast & half man to know how to make use of both natures one w/out the other is not durable



A Prince therefore being compelled knowingly to adopt the beast ought choose the fox& lion because the lion cannot defend himself against snares & the fox cannot defend himself against wolves Therefore it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares& lion to terrify the wolves


(Those who rely simply on the Lion do not understand what they are about.)
