The strength to do bold things is the strength to assume suffering. Look at how they separate the weak from the strong in SEAL training. I was just watching, the admittedly somewhat fictionalized story of Lawrence of Arabia. He took Aqaba, because he could suffer through the Negev desert.
what is an adventure without the aspect of suffering and death? lol if you do not have the strength to suffer your adventure will be bold but bleak. Like a city dweller going into the mountains thinking they can survive without never being into the mountains prior. Oh your going to suffer cause suffering is real life lol observe the ant. The more strength you have at suffering the bolder you will be.

I fall victim to this mistake too often. As they say, there is no place for a kind heart outside of your domicile. The world is truly a dog-eat-dog world. I guess... It's a little refreshing to know that this mistake is nothing new. That this quote exists, means that man has been making this mistake for ages and it is in our nature to be kind. It is only unfortunate that we cannot overcome humanities proclivity to ruin such goodness. But at least I am not alone in my mind.
If anyone is wondering where the quotes are from, they are from Machiavelli’s book The prince. I’ve read it two times and I recommend it to anyone.

A guy once said the scariest thing about The Prince is that he read it and it made sense.
Great book. I had a copy of it twenty years ago, not sure if I still do in storage, but it is about time I reread it.
@@Capcoor Frederick the Great wrote The Anti Machiavelli, refuting The Prince, just before he became king. Then he became king and was terribly embarrassed to find out Machiavelli was right. Read his Commentaries. It is 4 times larger. It is less practical but only by a hair. And he teaches how to commit political assassinations.
would you say Machiavelli was an evil man?

I always thought being feared over loved was tyrannical and vicious. Now I realize it's about not submitting to the worlds nonsense and knowing you will hold it accountable in front of you. This fear is rooted in self-love and self-respect. I misunderstood this for years. But now I understand.
When men fear you for the right reasons, it's powerful.
It's because many disagree with his politics and wanted him to appears as a tyrant
@@mdb45424 I've been reading the Prince recently. Fantastic book. But I have noticed many people who commentate on him on UA-cam seem to misunderstand him. I'm glad I'm not the only one who's seen this.
Thats why the beginning of wisdom starts with the fear of the Lord
@@g-mode5047 👍👍👍👍
I respectfully disagree.
Fear inspires forced pretense. In other words, you lie, betray to survive, or use fake perception. Fear creates a threat of danger, a risk to oneself or loved ones. Fear causes anxiety, panic attacks, mental breakdowns. Fear is the result of deceit.
Fear is the main weapon used in propaganda, finance, governance, wars and especially control of the mind.

Machiavelli's style makes "the Prince" quite an enjoyable book to read. He uses particularly powerful analogies. My favorite is the lion and the fox. One of the greatest quotes of both the book and this video comes from the beginning of Chapter 18:
"A prince, therefore, being compelled knowingly to adopt the beast, ought to choose the fox and the lion; because the lion cannot defend himself against snares and the fox cannot defend himself against wolves. Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and a lion to terrify the wolves."
This is a full version of the quote. I particularly like the beginning but it would probably be too long for the video.
Thanks for going farther in depth with that. Enlightening
@@dylanzeller9475 You're welcome! I'm glad I could provide you with some useful information and a deeper understanding of the topic.
yeah a lot of these are taken out of context and seem more devious than they actually are
@@dango470 Definitely. First of all Machiavelli was writing in a different time and place. His ideas were naturally shaped by the political realities of his era. Also when you read his works you realise that they are in fact often nuanced. It's easy to oversimplify or misinterpret his ideas nowadays.
@@triumphquotes they were shaped by reality of politics period. Our own politicians would be better if they read his work and followed it

It is better to act and repent than not to act and regret - This quote has changed my life. I used to always be scared of the possible bad consequences of my actions. So I have never done anything that can have bad consequences for me or others. Then I read this, realised this guy was right and slowly started doing my things. It feels like living. And I don't feel like repenting for anything. I recently started imagining my life before this qoute, and some other things that happened around that time as a villain origin story. Now I am slowly working on making the world eventually see the full expression of my "villainy".
many who want to follow in the footsteps of great men; should realize that there were very few of them.
The portrait of the man in this video is "The Prince" meaning Prince Medici, the guy Niccolo Machiavelli wrote the book for, instructing the young leader of the skills and tactics required to ensure the survival and protection of the power structure of the State.
"Everyone who wants to know what will happen ought to examine what has happened: Everything in this world in any epoch has their replicas in antiquity."
This seemingly modern wisdom from a man who lived in the 16th Century.
I used to do a lot of expert testimony. Whenever the lawyers interrupted me I reminded them that they get to pick the questions but I get to pick the responses, so please be quiet until I'm finished.
As an aside, listen carefully to questions and answer the question literally.
The answer to "Do you know what time it is?" is "Yes".
Cop: "Do you know why I pulled you over?" "No".
"All men have eyes, but few have the gift of penetration"
That can be applied to more than one thing

I read The Prince as a Bible. It always bring me into deep thoughts and understanding what politics is all about.
The prince only gives an understanding of power politics used by those who govern to enrich themselves
@@TROll-oe9ng- People believe Nicolo was wise because he made declarative statements with no namby-pamby nuance for the education of this particular prince and for his own survival in a world at war. Instead of an instruction manual for nobility I read it as a warning that explains the irrational behavior of rulers.
Absolutely 'The Prince' by Niccolo Machiavelli and its influence on political philosophy have had a significant impact on human society throughout history.
those who interrupt have good reason against those who gaslight and twist words, sometimes boundaries are being set
Whe “the prince” was released it was barred for 200 years. People didn’t appreciate having a Manuel how to rule or govern out in open. To this day every government has this book for reference on thier shelf. Whether a totalitarian monarchy or Republican democracy its still a guide how to rule or govern. Look at Ivan 4 of Russia or Caesar Borgia those were Machiavellis two models for the Prince. His time on senate of during them medicis reign was a balancing act in itself.

Macchiavelli is delightful in his Tuscan language, which I have had the opportunity to listen and understand as a child since it arrived to twentieth century almost unchanged in pronunciation and verbiage.
He spoke for powerful people of the Renaissance courts, not for lower class individuals, therefore he is a political philosopher!
His book is about to achieve and maintain power for higher ideals not for lower personal interests 😮!
Machiavelli was demonized since his teachings go against Christian teachings, which requires benevolence and forgiveness.
He knew that in higher circles the fight for supremacy was to the last blood, therefore the end justifies the means.
( since many commented about the man who interrupts you, I would guess that he was speaking for the man that publicly, not only interrupts your reasoning but often contradicts you, which can be an absolute form of passive aggressive behavior especially if he does it in a way that embarrasses you in front of many, as we must presume he was talking about court discussions happened or even street and bar rooms discussions are still conducted now.
Machiavelli was a good man and his mother was tortured for unknown reasons, so he knew how cruel humans could be and he had the courage to address this side of humanity.
His model was the Valentino, son of a powerful pope who was so ruthless, that he was rumored to have his own brother killed and for sure killed his sister Lucrezia Borgia’s husband ( whom she loved dearly)in the Vatican!!!
He also killed the supposed lover and favorite, of his father, while the poor devil tried to hide under the pope’s mantel!😮
Lucrezia for those who ignore true history, was a good woman who was used by his powerful men in the family, for achieving via matrimony power; she died at age 39 after having given birth to 9 children and was very much mourned by her last husband a powerful man of the Renaissance; one of her sons became cardinal and commissioned the Trevi Fountains
Lucrezia was educated and religious and never poisoned anyone 😂

It's not a bad habit, I wouldn't call it interrupting either, it's just that you made a quick comment , in their mid sentence.

The only problem with fear, is that it causes resentment and hate, people hate what they fear, so love and fear should coexist in a balance
What’s left out of the fear and love quote is the next sentence which says that one must not be feared to the point of being hated. That point is left out just about every time the quote comes up.

I love these quotes videos ...been about quotes since like...2005
You know, I often find myself interrupting people who are telling me stories. Someone once said I need a picture drawn for me. I gotta say however, in my defense. I never went to college and never liked high school, but I was born with I high functioning math type brain. So I’m actually pretty smart without the education, it’s helpful all day long just simplifying most interactions. The way this affects me is when I’m listening to a persons story, i know they’re leaving out important details, or minimally important details, and I’ll ask them a question. I don’t change the subject or cut them off completely, I just feel I need to know something at that moment. They often say “Just let me finish”, they don’t like the interruption. I don’t care if they have three master degrees, my brain is always clicking, and I can tell they left something out. It’s not disrespectful at all, there’s people like me out there so don’t be offended.

"THE PRINCE" is required reading before you are eligible to become a made-member of the Mafia.

Context would have been appreciated, as these recommendations are not for regular people, but for rulers (though they can also be applied to regular people). Without this context, some of these recommendations may seem strange. But they make sense for someone who rules a territory, and/or conquers foreign lands.
Thats a perspective you chose for yourself. The amount of game packed in the qoutes is what makes them heavy hitters. Which is true when you said context, but better word would be breakdown or explanation of what they really mean
Well, AFAIK Il Principle was all about establishing your rule on recently conquered land.
If you cannot find any way that this advice can be applied because of context. I suggest it might be a critical thinking skill problem on your part.
Everyone should Respect everyone’s Choice and their personal belief . If Not than any human is capable to defend themselves and everything has a limit so No one should cross the limit and interfere into someone life . If someone tells No than No Means No . If the other party is Human and understands No meanings should always consider to step back and respect the decisions of individuals otherwise any Human is capable of doing to defend them . All humans are created equally 🙏🏽

On a scale of 1 to 1000 where 1 is the gambling bar fool, and 1000 is King Solomon, Machiavelli is like a 900. He is one of the few men in history who knew God exists. He's also one of the few men in history who knew man's nature. He was often on the brunt end of that misery, which is why he could write so well about it.
A story about him goes, that in his exile, he'd put off his farmer's clothes, and put on his courtly gowns, and write. It's such a shame that he was treated so poorly. But, that same misanthropy left no illusions.

@@Fernando-rp6rm Mmm... Machiavelli proved God exists. In the Discourses on Livy. He's a wise man.
Machiavelli was a very wise man. Misunderstood... for sure. But, wise nonetheless. Those same principles he employs in the Prince actually work. It's just you can't force them. But, Machiavelli was wise, in other areas too. He was actually trying to help install peace, and stop the constant warring. His works were meant to be published for peace.
He wasn't an entirely good man... there's stories I've heard about him that aren't that flattering, but they're also probably rumors and not true. But, he was wise. Very wise.
