4 Exercise (USE) of Power
Men should be either treated generously or destroyed, because they take revenge for slight injuries - for heavy ones they cannot.

5 Politics? Politics have no relation to morals.
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command. The first method for estimating the intelligence of a ruler is to look at the men he has around him.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.
