The Prince by Machiavelli

Original Paragraph:
Everyone realizes how praiseworthy it is for a prince to honour his word and to be straightforward rather than crafty in his dealings; none the less contemporary experience shows that princes who have achieved great things have been those who have given their word lightly, who have known how to trick men with their cunning, and who, in the end, have overcome those abiding by honest principles.

Now I am going to re-write this piece with some new vocabulary words:

Everyone realizes how praiseworthy it is for a prince to be guileless and to be straightforward rather than to deviate in his dealings; none the less contemporary experience shows that princes who have achieved great things hand been those who have given their word lightly, who have known how to trick men with their fickleness and rapacious cunning, and who, in the end, have overcome those abiding by honest principles.

I thought it was interesting that this whole paragraph was only one sentence.
