"The fact is that a man who wants to act virtuously in every way necessarily comes to grief among so many who are not virtuous." - Machiavelli. Actions speak louder than words, and you... my dear sycophantic souls... are no less stained than the rest of us. Suck it up.

"It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver." - Machiavelli. All it takes is one little seed to bring down a republic.

"Men are so simple and so much inclined to obey immediate needs that a deceiver will never lack victims for his deceptions." - Machiavelli. Like taking candy from a baby.

"So in all human affairs one notices, if one examines them closely, that it is impossible to remove one inconvenience without another emerging." - Machiavelli. So, the first murderer gets punished for slaying his blood only to give rise to a new race of kin-slayers. Fascinatingly inconvenient.
