"A prince, therefore, being compelled knowingly to adopt the
beast, ought to choose the fox and the lion; because the lion cannot
defend himself against snares and the fox cannot defend himself against
wolves.Therefore, it is necessary to be a fox to discover the snares and
a lion to terrify the wolves."
"But it is necessary to
know well how to disguise this characteristic, and to be a great
pretender and dissembler; and men are so simple, and so subject to
present necessities, that he who seeks to deceive will always find
someone who will allow himself to be deceived."
Niccolò Machiavelli

“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand,
while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.â€

"Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that
one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
Antoine de Saint Exupéry (Le Petit Prince )
