He who is to be a good ruler must have first been ruled.
In politics a capable ruler must be guided by circumstances, conjectures and conjunctions.
The enemies cannot destroy the king who has at his service the respect and friendship of the wise men who can find fault, disagree, and correct him.
Now, a leader must cause things to happen and lives to be affected. Something should move and change. He must see that those under him do not fail. But it should be done in the Lord's way.
He who conquers others is strong; He who conquers himself is mighty.
The king must die so that the country can live.
Kings will be tyrants from policy, when subjects are rebels from principle.
The only safe ruler is he who has learned to obey willingly.
He conquers who endures.
Every reign must submit to a greater reign.
