"Since a ruler needs to know how to make good use of beastly qualities, he should take as his models among the animals both the fox and the lion, for the lion does not know how to avoid traps, and the fox is easily overpowered by wolves,ĶSo you see a wise ruler cannot, and should not, keep his word when doing so is to his disadvantage, and when the reasons that led him to promise to do so no longer apply. Of course, if all men were good, this advice would be bad; but since men are wicked and will not keep faith with you, you need not keep faith with them,ĶBut it is essential to know how to conceal how crafty one is, to know how to be a clever counterfeit and hypocrite."

Anyone who quotes Jane Austin is the first on my list for the inquisition.
And, Rog, I agree with that quote. You can't keep faith in most people. You cannot defend upon the sheepy masses to be anything but sheepy.

I didn't. I was reading it, copycat! :evil:
what translation did you get? cuz I'm not all that impressed with the one I got. Mine's translated and edited by Robert M. Adams. This is the 2nd time I'm reading it, and whatever edition I read the first time was WAY better.

You want
The Portable Machiavelli. It includes his essays on republics, etc.
However, despite the misleading title, you do not actually get his corpse on casters. :evil:
