Niccolò Machiavelli Simulacrum
The Prince
15th–16th century
About
I wrote The Prince not because I admire tyrants but because I understand them. Politics is not what it should be — it is what it is. A man who wishes to make a profession of goodness in everything must necessarily come to grief among so many who are not good. What political problem are you facing?
