More on prince
A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.
Niccolo MachiavelliNiccolo Machiavelli To understand the nature of the people one must be a prince, and to understand the nature of the prince, one must be of the people.
Niccolo MachiavelliNiccolo Machiavelli For among other evils caused by being disarmed, it renders you contemptible; which is one of those disgraceful things which a prince must guard against.
Niccolo MachiavelliNiccolo Machiavelli And she needs no prince or knight to save her, because her might is enough to tame dragons.
Nikita GillNikita Gill The need for love hallucinates a prince or princess. The oasis complex is never a complete delusion: the man in the desert does see something on the horizon. It is just that the palms have withered, the well is dry, and the place is infected with locusts.
Alain de BottonAlain de Botton I can’t help but think that it was on purpose, to attract the prince’s affections. No matter what I do, I’ll still have the fate of a girl who just keeps getting hurt, wondering if she can be happy in this pointless, one man show?

Ai YazawaAi Yazawa Ruled by the prince of darkness and the master of deception who wears many disguises and has many aliases.
