Laws of Power

There are Laws of Power in which Leaders of old have used. These following laws and short descriptions are my personal favorites and ones I wished I used more to my strategy. 
Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit. Use the wisdom of others to further your own cause. It’ll save yourself time and give you God-like speed. Give orders and take the credit. People, who like to talk, get them to talk about you. 
Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm. One sincere and honest move will cover 10 more dishonest ones. It’s the Trojan horse.  
the unhappy and unlucky, infection. Don’t become infected by other people. You can die from someone else’s misery. Associate with happy people.
It’s always better to make your opponent come to you, abandoning their plans in the process. Make other people come to you, use bait if necessary. When you force the other person to act, you are in control.
Learn how to use enemies. Never put too much trust in friends, do not put pressure on your friends, when your enemies could do the stuff for you. Your enemies contribute to your reputation. Be weary of friends, they will betray you more quickly than an enemy will, because you’re not expecting it. Friends are more aroused to envy. They can also become spoiled and tyrannical.
