5. According to Machiavelli, what must never be neglected?
“A prince ought to have no other aim or thought, nor select anything else for his study, than war and its rules and discipline; for this is the sole art that belongs to him who rules, and it is of such force that it not only upholds those who are born princes but often enables men to rise from a private station to that rank. And, on the contrary, it is seen that when princes have thought more of ease than of arms they have lost their states. And the first cause of your losing it is to neglect this art; what enables you to acquire a state is to master this art.”
Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince, 16th century
