"And the prince who has relied solely on……" — Niccolo Machiavelli

"And the prince who has relied solely on their words, without making other preparations, is ruined, for the friendship which is gained by purchase and not through grandeur and nobility of spirit is merited but is not secured, and at times is not to be had."

Niccolo Machiavelli
