尼可罗·马基雅维利:君主论·摘录 65

尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 认知 · 哲学 · 领导 · 人性

That prince is highly esteemed who conveys this impression of himself, and he who is highly esteemed is not easily conspired against; for, provided it is well known that he is an excellent man and revered by his people, he can only be attacked with difficulty. For this reason a prince ought to have two fears, one from within, on account of his subjects, the other from without, on account of external powers. From the latter he is defended by being well armed and having good allies, and if he is well armed he will have good friends, and affairs will always remain quiet within when they are quiet without, unless they should have been already disturbed by conspiracy; and even should affairs outside be disturbed, if he has carried out his preparations and has lived as I have said, as long as he does not despair, he will resist every attack, as I said Nabis the Spartan did.

白话

一个能给人这种印象的君主会备受尊敬,而备受尊敬的人不容易被阴谋反对。因为只要人们知道他是卓越的人、受人民爱戴,就很难攻击他。因此,君主有两种恐惧:一是内部臣民,二是外部强权。对付外部,要靠精良的军队和可靠的盟友;只要军备强大,就不愁没有朋友。外部安定,内部通常也会安定,除非内部已经出现阴谋。即使外部有动荡,只要准备充分、生活如我所说,不绝望,就能抵抗一切攻击,就像斯巴达的纳比斯那样。

你目前最大的威胁来自内部还是外部?你为此做了哪些准备?
