Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach.” IfsMenDoeHas BeensWisdomAbleHopeWishAbilityKnowledgeKnowingPathWiseStrengthDesignOughtHigherLimitsEqualMarkAimExcellenceEqualityAidsSupremeCleverHeightGreat MenBowsBeatenArrowsArcher Book:The Prince Source: The Prince
