And of all princes, it is impossible for a new prince to escape the name of cruel, new states being always full of dangers.

An old Arabian fable tells of a prince imprisoned in a castle which had thirteen windows. Twelve of these windows overlooked lovely scenes, while the thirteenth looked down on the black ash heaps of the city.
