Frase de Nicolau Maquiavel

“Men are sooner tempted to offend those they love than those they fear.”

“A people that passively accepts corruption and corrupt leaders is not a victim, but an accomplice.”

“Injuries should be done all at once, so that being tasted less, they offend less.”

“It is much safer to be feared than loved, when one of the two must be lacking.”

“Men more quickly forget the death of their father than the loss of their inheritance.”
