Example

Vor allen Dingen aber muß ein Fürst sich einen Plan vorzeichnen, der gut genug überdacht ist, damit er sich weder durch günstige noch schlimme Zufälle bewegen zu lassen brauche, davon abzugehen: denn wenn schlimme Zeiten eintreten, so ist es nicht der Augenblick zu harten Verfügungen, und von wohlthätigen hat man keinen Dank, weil sie erzwungen scheinen.And above all things, a prince ought to live amongst his people in such a way that no unexpected circumstances, whether of good or evil, shall make him change; because if the necessity for this comes in troubled times, you are too late for harsh measures; and mild ones will not help you, for they will be considered as forced from you, and no one will be under any obligation to you for them.OP536250
