22 1, VI | cause of her ruin. Not being able, therefore, [as I believe]
23 1, VI | her to expand, she may be able to preserve that which she
24 1, VII | liberty, as is that of being able to accuse the citizen to
25 1, VII | the time had come [to be able] to castigate the Plebs
26 1, VII | because the multitude was able to give vent to their spirit
27 1, VII | in the Republic of being able to resist him except by
28 1, VII | arrangements, a way to be able without extraordinary means
29 1, VII | Aruntes, and Aruntes not being able to avenge himself because
30 1, VIII | Manlius Capitolinus was not able to endure that so much honor
31 1, VIII | filled with envy, he was not able to sow discord among the
32 1, VIII | in that Republic of being able to do so. From which there
33 1, IX | and Republics, who were able to formulate laws for the
34 1, IX | seemed to him he would not be able because of the ambitions
35 1, X | censure that praise. And being able to establish either a Kingdom
36 1, X | praises; so that not being able to censure him [Caesar]
37 1, XI | pursue his designs, being able easily to impress upon them
38 1, XI | therefore, if he is not able to attain that which had
39 1, XII | or evil, should also be able to concede it to you. From
40 1, XII | such virtu that she was able to occupy the rest of Italy
41 1, XII | she [Italy] has not been able to be united under one head,

52 1, XVII | which was Caesar, who was able so to blind the multitude
53 1, XVII | while he was alive, was able to maintain the form of

62 1, XIX | of peace than of war, was able to enjoy the efforts of
63 1, XIX | Princes are weak who are not able to endure war. I conclude,
64 1, XIX | was so great, that it was able to give time to Numa Pompilius
65 1, XIX | to Numa Pompilius to be able to rule Rome with the arts
66 1, XIX | gifted by nature that he was able to use peace and endure
67 1, XIX | would never then have been able, except with the greatest
68 1, XX | time to time, [and] was able to arrive at her ultimate

195 2, XXIV | from the belief of being able to hold them by force, or
196 2, XXIV | makes them believe they are able to force them, is to have
197 2, XXIV | destroy them that they are not able to come together to attack
198 2, XXIV | live securely, and to be able to oppress their Citizens
199 2, XXIV | and would then have been able to resist the impetus of
200 2, XXIV | thousand and have not been able to harm him. It will be
201 2, XXIV | France. For when he was able to come into Italy with
202 2, XXIV | Italy with his army, he was able to recover Genoa without

211 2, XXX | soldiers were killed, they were able not only to sustain the
212 2, XXX | lover of antiquity who is able to rule so that she has
213 2, XXXI | States; and I am especially able to demonstrate this by a
214 2, XXXI | Themistocles, not being able to observe these promises,
215 2, XXXII | greatest doubts of being able to remedy this, because
216 2, XXXII | not numerous enough to be able to substitute for or relieve

232 3, VI | and demanded that he be able to keep armed men with him

234 3, IX | are exceeded, not being able to observe the true course
235 3, X | mountain, and no longer being able to resist, fled with the
236 3, X | army) he would have been able to do as Fabius did in Italy,
237 3, X | but by trying he may be able to win. There is something
238 3, X | territory in Africa that he was able to remain there as secure
239 3, XI | otherwise it would not have been able to place a restraint on
240 3, XI | little industry he will be able to disunite the many and
241 3, XI | armed men of such virtu able to temporize with the enemy,

252 3, XVI | ruin of the City (he being able to) or by the injury of
253 3, XXI | more fortunate, as you are able by contrary methods to acquire
254 3, XXII | happened that Valerius was able to proceed so humanely;
255 3, XXII | other hand, Valerius was able to proceed humanely, as
256 3, XXII | Prince. So that Valerius was able to arouse in himself every
257 3, XXII | same obedience, they were able to act differently and obtain
258 3, XXII | public, and there not being able to be any suspicion of private
