The murder of a prince is no sin, but a just punishment, when it is necessary to remove a mighty enemy.

If you create revolutions, cause nations to tear each other to pieces in grim civil war, these revolutions will be sanctified, the civil wars blessed, if they serve to strengthen the power of our order, and gain victory at last against the opponents.

Only through our order can happiness reenter the world, and mankind be rescued.

If the Holy Fathers do not sit in the council of princes, if they are not the conscience of the powerful, and steer the machine of state, the world goes to destruction, and mankind is lost.

You shall help, my son, to turn aside the evil, and prepare happiness for earth.
