Prince Quotes

Still, a prince should make himself feared in such a way that if he does not gain love, he at any rate avoids hatred; for fear and the absence of hatred may well go together, and will be always attained by one who abstains from interfering with the property of his citizens and subjects or with their women Picture Quote #1

How laudable it is for a prince to keep good faith and live with integrity, and not with astuteness, every one knows. Still the experience of our times shows those princes to have done great things who have had little regard for good faith, and have been able by astuteness to confuse men’s brains, and who have ultimately overcome those who have made loyalty their foundation Picture Quote #1

A prince being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from snares, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognise snares, and a lion to frighten wolves. Those that wish to be only lions do not understand this Picture Quote #1

The prince must consider, as has been in part said before, how to avoid those things which will make him hated or contemptible; and as often as he shall have succeeded he will have fulfilled his part, and he need not fear any danger in other reproaches Picture Quote #1

That prince is highly esteemed who conveys this impression of himself, and he who is highly esteemed is not easily conspired against; for, provided it is well known that he is an excellent man and revered by his people, he can only be attacked with difficulty Picture Quote #1

Therefore, in order not to have to rob his subjects, to be able to defend himself, not to become poor and contemptible, and not to be forced to become rapacious, a prince must consider it of little importance if he incurs the reputation of being a miser, for this is one of the vices that permits him to rule Picture Quote #1

For a prince should have two fears: one, internal concerning his subjects; the other, external, concerning foreign powers. From the latter he can always defend himself by his good troops and friends; and he will always have good friends if he has good troops Picture Quote #1

And here one must not that hatred is acquired just as much by means of good actions as by bad ones; and so, as I said above, if a prince wishes to maintain the state, he is often obliged not to be good; because whenever that group which you believe you need to support you is corrupted, whether it be the common people, the soldiers, or the nobles, it is to your advantage to follow their inclinations in order to satisfy them; and then good actions are your enemy Picture Quote #1

The prince who relies upon their words, without having otherwise provided for his security, is ruined; for friendships that are won by awards, and not by greatness and nobility of soul, although deserved, yet are not real, and cannot be depended upon in time of adversity Picture Quote #1

Now do you not see that the eye embraces the beauty of the whole world? It counsels and corrects all the arts of mankind... it is the prince of mathematics, and the sciences founded on it are absolutely certain. It has measured the distances and sizes of the stars it has discovered the elements and their location... it has given birth to architecture and to perspective and to the divine art of painting Picture Quote #1

I am a prince I have it all, and I hear your foot steps on the wall, I wait in silence for your call, and take a shot and watch you fall Picture Quote #1

Until this movie I have played a boxer, a cowboy, a knight, a prince, an elf and a pirate. I am so glad to have done all of that already, and am ready for this phase of my career Picture Quote #1

Happy and fortunate indeed would this nation be, nay, completely blessed, if it had good prelates and pastors, and but one prince, and that prince a good one Picture Quote #1

Specifically, we talked about making the character of the prince not so charming, at least in the beginning, and I’m playing around with the preconceptions attached to a character. That’s really what intrigued me as well because I thought it would be fun to do it Picture Quote #1

The crowd is at silent odds with the prince. As is the way of a populace, the man of the future is the favourite Picture Quote #1

Were you with these, my prince, you’d soon forget the pale, unripened beauties of the north Picture Quote #1

There is no occasion to trample upon the meanest reptile, nor to sneak to the greatest prince. Insolence and baseness are equally unmanly Picture Quote #1

Blair, don’t send our young prince to your catastrophic illegal war to make it look plausible Picture Quote #1

Title and ancestry render a good man more illustrious, but an ill one more contemptible. Vice is infamous, though in a prince, and virtue honorable, though in a peasant Picture Quote #1

That man is deceived who thinks it slavery to live under an excellent prince. Never does liberty appear in a more gracious form than under a pious king Picture Quote #1

A king or a prince becomes by accident a part of history. A poet or an artist becomes by nature and necessity a part of universal humanity Picture Quote #1

Custom is the great leveller. It corrects the inequality of fortune by lessening equally the pleasures of the prince and the pains of the peasant Picture Quote #1

The surest way of governing, both in a private family and a kingdom, is for a husband and a prince sometimes to drop their prerogative Picture Quote #1

Gaming is the destruction of all decorum; the prince forgets at it his dignity, and the lady her modesty Picture Quote #1

A hop and skip shall raise the son of a cobbler, well underlaid with pieces, to the government of a prince, till overmuch ambitious cutting wears him to his last Picture Quote #1

Modest and shy as a nun is she; one weak chirp is her only note; braggarts and prince of braggarts is he, pouring boasts from his little throat Picture Quote #1

So the good prince was a murderer and the evil queen wasn’t a witch after all Picture Quote #1

Don’t forget, I was a musician long before I ever met Prince. That’s a big difference between me and those other women he’s worked with. We operate on the same plane, as equals Picture Quote #1

The point in me playing with Prince was to let a lot of people know that I can play trap. I don’t think people know that Picture Quote #1
