Isay that the nobles ought to be looked at mainly in two
ways: that is to say, they either shape their course in such
a way as binds them entirely to your fortune, or they do
not. those who so bind themselves, and are not
rapacious, ought to be honoured and loved; those who do
not bind themselves may be dealt with in two ways; they
may fail to do this through pusillanimity and a natural
want of courage, in which case you ought to make use of
them, especially of those who are of good counsel; and
thus, whilst in prosperity you honour them, in adversity
you do not have to fear them.
