The Prince- Chapter 12 – Types of Military Forces: Mercenaries and Auxiliaries

Mercenaries don’t fight for you, they fight for coin. Borrowed arms break under pressure. Real power must be homegrown. #ThePrince #Leadership

Sacred power without strategy is delusion. Mystique isn’t protection, structure is. Even divine rule needs systems. #ThePrince #Leadership
A true ruler prepares for siege. If your system can't survive pressure, it isn't strong, it’s staged. Strength is what you can endure. #ThePrince
Power backed by the people is safer than elite favor. Serve their dignity, earn their loyalty. The few can betray. The many can protect. #ThePrince
Cruelty can create power, but only discipline sustains it. Brutality must be swift, contained, and followed by order. #ThePrince #Leadership
