"Men are more ready to offend one..." - Quote by Niccolo Machiavelli

“The ends justifies the means.”

“For that reason, let a prince have the credit of conquering and holding his state, the means will always be considered honest, and he will be praised by everybody because the vulgar are always taken by what a thing seems to be and by what comes of it; and in the world there are only the vulgar, for the few find a place there only when the many have no ground to rest on.”

“Men are more apt to be mistaken in their generalizations than in their particular observations.”

“No matter what happens, somebody will find a way to take it too seriously.”

“The real power, the power we have to fight for night and day, is not power over things, but over men”

“If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.”

“Rover did not know in the least where the moon's path led to, and at present he was much too frightened and excited to ask, and anyway he was beginning to get used to extraordinary things happening to him.”

“"Then what can you want to do now?" said the old lady,gaining courage. "I wants to make your flesh creep," replied the boy.”

“I know the signs of scaredness.”
