The Prince - Machiavelli, Niccolò · 78 words
Machiavelli, in his History of Florence, gives us a picture of the young men among whom his youth was passed. He writes. They were freer than their forefathers in dress and living, and spent more in other kinds of excesses, consuming their time and money in idleness, gaming, and women; their chief aim was to appear well dressed and to speak with wit and acuteness, whilst he who could wound others the most cleverly was thought the wisest.
