other should be over great. Another means to curb them is to balance them by others as proud as they : but then there must be some middle counsellors® to keep things steady; for without that ballast the ship will roll too much. At the least, a prince may animate and inure some meaner persons to be as it were scourges to ambitious men. As for the having of them obnoxious to ' ruin, if they be of fearful natures it may do well ; but if they be stout and daring, it may precipitate their designs an...d prove dan- lo gerous. As for the pulling of them down, if the affairs require it, and that it may not be done » with safety sud- denly, the only way is the interchange continually of favours and disgraces, whereby they may not know what to expect, and be as it were in a wood. Of ambitions, it is less harmful the ambition to prevail in great things, than that other to appear in everything; for that breeds con- fusion and mars business : but yet it is less danger to have an ambitious man stirring in business than great in de- pendencies \ He that seeketh to be eminent amongst able 20 men hath a great task ; but that is ever good for the public : but he that plots to be the only figure amongst ciphers is the decay of an whole age.
