“And many have imagined republics and principalities that have never been seen or known to exist in truth; for it is so far from how one lies to how one should live that he who lets go of what is done for what should be done learns his ruin rather than his preservation. For a man who wants to make a profession of good in all regards must come to ruin among so many who are not good. Hence it is necessary to a prince, if he wants to maintain himself, to learn to be able not to be good, and to use this and not use it according to necessity.” – Niccolo Machiavelli
