"A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise."
"Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others."
"One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived."
"The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him."
And my favorite:
"He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command."
