Niccolò Machiavelli quote

[SelfMade100]

“Any man who tries to be good all the time is bound to come to ruin among the great number who are not good. Hence a prince who wants to keep his authority must learn how not to be good, and use that knowledge, or refrain from using it, as necessity requires.”

In order to find peace, first you got to prepare for war
