"For the future, the motto is, "No days unalert." "Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others-that is too high a price to pay." "Strike the shepherd and the sheep will scatter" "Lord, protect me from my friends I can take care of my enemies." "There is nothing more intoxicating than victory, and nothing more dangerous." It strains constantly to break out of its cage, and if it is not tamed, it will tun wild and cause you grief." ".But the human tongue is a beast that few can master. "Many a serious thinker has been produced in prisons, where we have nothing to do but think." Incorporate dramatic devices into your public gestures and actions – your power will be enhanced and your character will seem larger than life." Be the master of your own image rather than letting others define if for you.
Re-create yourself by forging a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience. "Do not accept the roles that society foists on you. Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity." It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. "Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. "Do not leave your reputation to chance or gossip it is your life's artwork, and you must craft it, hone it, and display it with the care of an artist." "Keep your friends for friendship, but work with the skilled and competent" Everyone admires the bold no one honors the timid." Any mistakes you commit through audacity are easily corrected with more audacity. Timidity is dangerous: Better to enter with boldness.
Your doubts and hesitations will infect your execution. "If you are unsure of a course of action, do not attempt it. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish." Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. "When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others" "When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity. if you find write in the comments) The best quotes: Link to the second author's profile in Linkedin - Joost Elffers (no found. Link to the author's profile in Linkedin - Robert Greene In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game. Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, The 48 Laws of Power is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.
