Niccolo Machiavelli quotes

Italian writer and statesman, Florentine patriot, author of 'The Prince', 1469-1527

It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles.

 

I'm not interested in preserving the status quo; I want to overthrow it.

 

Hence it comes about that all armed prophets have been victorious, and all unarmed prophets have been destroyed.

 

A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests.

 

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
