A prince, therefore, is not to regard the scandal of being cruel, if thereby he keeps his subjects in their allegiance and united...

Exiled from a religious community because of a wrongful accusation of theft, he works from day to day as a weaver, hoarding his money and living a lonely life as a recluse.
