About This Design

Machiavelli Prince Imitate Fox and the Lion Quote Coffee Mug

Machiavelli Prince Imitate Fox and the Lion Quote Coffee Mug

Niccolo Machiavelli gave sound realist advice in The Prince. He advised rulers to imitate the behaviour of both foxes and lions: "A prince being thus obliged to know well how to act as a beast must imitate the fox and the lion, for the lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves." Showcase your knowledge of practical political philosophy with any of these Machiavelli quotation gifts!

I was originally happy about my purchase and Nana loved the gift. HOWEVER, the description specifically says that these are microwave and dishwasher safe, BUT the first time Nana put this mug in the dishwasher it was destroyed. Not impressed..

I am very satisfied with the quality of this product. The printing of the image on the mug was absolutely perfect and the quality of the mug itself was very good as well. I would recommend this product to anyone. I am very pleased with how the printing on the mug turned out. The image was clear, not blurry at all, and easy to see. I would recommend this product to anyone.
