I just finished rereading Machiavelli's "The Prince," the copy I'd studied from in college. In the whole book, this is the only thing I underlined:
It is better to be impetuous than cautious, because fortune is a woman; and it is necessary, if one wants to hold her down, to bear her and strike her down.

Yeah. That about says it, doesn't it?
