“it is much safer to be feared than loved because ...love is preserved by the link of obligation which,
owing to the baseness of men, is broken at every opportunity for their advantage; but fear preserves
you by a dread of punishment which never fails.”

The Nobility 12

“[T]he aim of the perfect Courtier is so

to win . . . the favor and mind of the
prince whom he serves that he may be
able to tell him . . . the truth about
everything he needs to know . . . and that
when he sees the mind of his prince
inclined to a wrong action, he may dare
to oppose him . . . so as to dissuade him
of every evil intent and bring him to the
path of virtue.” — Baldassare
Castiglione, The Book of the Courtier,
1528

 Peasants and

“Those that are lazy in a way that does
harm to the city, and who
can offer no just reason for their condition,
should either be forced to
work or expelled from the city. The city
would thus rid itself of that
most harmful part of the poorest class.”
—fifteenth-century Florence merchant
