10 VI | the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who
11 VI | opportunities, therefore, made those men fortunate, and their high
12 VI | become princes, like these men, acquire a principality
13 VI | from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe
14 VII | because, unless they are men of great worth and ability,

17 VII | they became pontiffs. For men injure either from fear
18 VIII | but leaving part of his men for its defence, with the

46 XVIII | first method is proper to men, the second to beasts; but
47 XVIII | pledge it exist no longer. If men were entirely good this
48 XVIII | pretender and dissembler; and men are so simple, and so subject
49 XVIII | nothing else but deceive men, nor ever thought of doing
50 XVIII | all those things for which men are esteemed, being often
51 XVIII | last quality, inasmuch as men judge generally more by

67 XXIII | flatterers except letting men understand that to tell
68 XXIII | course by choosing the wise men in his state, and giving
69 XXIII | once obstructed by those men whom he has around him,
70 XXIII | found otherwise, because men will always prove untrue
