Niccolo Machiavelli Quotes

A Prince Is Also Respected When He Is Either A True Friend Or A Downright Enemy, That To Say, When, Without Any Reservation, He Declares Himself In Favour Of One Party Against The Other; Which Course Will Always Be More Advantageous Than Standing Neutral; Because If Two Of Your Powerful Neighbours Come To Blows, They Are Of Such A Character That, If One Of Them Conquers, You Have Either To Fear Him Or Not. In Either Case It Will Always Be More Advantageous For You To Declare Yourself And To Make War Strenuously; Because, In The First Case, If You Do Not Declare Yourself, You Will Invariably Fall A Prey To The Conqueror, To The Pleasure And Satisfaction Of Him Who Has Been Conquered, And You Will Have No Reasons To Offer, Nor Anything To Protect Or To Shelter You. Because He Who Conquers Does Not Want Doubtful Friends Who Will Not Aid Him In The Time Of Trial; And He Who Loses Will Not Harbour You Because You Did Not Willingly, Sword In Hand, Court His Fate.
