Nicholi Machiavelli – select quotes

Impetuosity and audacity often achieve what ordinary means fail to achieve.
~ in Discourses

There cannot be good laws where there are not good arms.
~ in The Prince

When princes think more of luxury than of arms, they lose their state.
~ in The Prince

Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results.
