问题 There are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by
force; the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; and as【M1】______
the first method is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the
second. It is, however, necessary for a prince to know how to use【M2】______
both the beast or the man. This was overtly taught to the rulers by【M3】______
ancient writers, who relate how Achilles and many others of those
ancient princes given Chiron, the Centaur, to be brought up and【M4】______
educated under his discipline. The parable of this semi-animal,
semi-human teacher is meant to indicate that a prince must know how
to use both natures, and the one without the other is not durable. A【M5】______
prince, being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast, must
imitate the fox, and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself for【M6】______
traps, but the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. Those that wish【M7】______
to be only lions do not understand this. Therefore, a prudent ruler ought
not to keep faith that by doing so it would be against his interest, and【M8】______
the reasons which made him bind himself no longer exist If men are【M9】______
all good, this precept would not be good one; but as they are bad, and【M10】______
would not observe their faith with you, so you are not bound to keep
faith with them. Nor have legitimate grounds ever failed a prince who
wishes to show colorable excuse for the fulfillment of his promise. [br] 【M3】
