The Prince - Machiavelli, Niccolò · 77 words
It is the cry of a far later day than Machiavellis that government should be elevated into a living moral force, capable of inspiring the people with a just recognition of the fundamental principles of society; to this high argument The Prince contributes but little. Machiavelli always refused to write either of men or of governments otherwise than as he found them, and he writes with such skill and insight that his work is of abiding value.
