Book Synopsis: This book is an anthology of 174 quotes from Niccolò Machiavelli and 40 selected by Blago Kirov facts about Niccolò Machiavelli. “History is written by the victors.” “It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both.” “Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer.” “Men must either be caressed or else destroyed.” “War is not so to be avoided, but is only deferred to your disadvantage.” “But above all he must refrain from seizing the property of others, because a man is quicker to forget the death of his father than the loss of his patrimony.” Niccolò Machiavelli was a founder of modern political science. Machiavelli is most famous for a short political treatise, The Prince, written in 1513 but not published until 1532, five years after his death. “The Prince” is based on his diplomatic experience and his reading of ancient history. In 1502 Niccolò Machiavelli got married and had 4 sons and 2 daughters. Niccolò Machiavelli was a good father and an affectionate but unfaithful husband. As the author of the comedy Mandragola, Niccolò Machiavelli has been acclaimed the equal of Molière. Joseph Stalin read The Prince and annotated his own copy.
