What the people want is more honest than what the powerful want, because only the powerful want to oppress, while the people only want not to be oppressed. The best fortress that exists is not to be hated by the people, because even if you have fortresses and the people hate you, they will not save you. The injustices should all be done at once, so that, by keeping them fewer, they will be less annoying, and the benefits should be given gradually, so that their taste lasts longer.
