Document Summary
Chapter 5: governing cities which had own laws before annexed. Chapter 17: cruelty and clemency, loved or feared. If you keep your subjects united, cruelty is unnecessary. If there is too much mercy, disorder will arise. Too confident incautious, distrust intolerable, find a balance. Fear is greater than love when people truly need something they will turn on you. Build friendships by nobility and not payments more secure. Fear is preserving by the help of dread of punishment. Fear helps disregard the reputation of cruelty in harsh circumstances when it becomes necessary to be cruel, fear seems less uncommon. Men love to their own accord but fear like a prince: endeavour to avoid hatred. Men circumvent the intellect of men by craft. Must have a mind ready to turn if necessary. Ferdinand of aragon takes over grenada, was quiet and used church. Prince needs a reputation and to be respected, whether as a true friend or enemy.
