Niccolo Machiavelli(1469 – 1527) Full name: Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli. An Italian historian, politician, diplomat, philosopher, humanist, musician, poet, romantic comedic playwright, and writer based in Florence during the Renaissance. He was also a key figure in realist political theory, crucial to European statecraft during the Renaissance. It is double pleasure to deceive the deceiver. It is not titles that honor men, but men that honor titles. Never was anything great achieved without danger. The promise given was a necessity of the past: the word broken is a necessity of the present. We cannot attribute to fortune or virtue that which is achieved without either. |
