""Machiavelli’s famous advice to the Prince seems to cover many topics, and its ostensible theme is prowess, but its gist is loyalty: its indispensability to a successful prince. He dwells on it from every angle. How to deserve loyalty. How to win it, buy it, inculcate it, cultivate it, terrorize people into it. How to subvert loyalty to rival princes or states. How to sniff out disloyalty and deal with it. All his digressions lead back to loyalty.” - Jane Jacobs, 'Systems of Survival'
"[F]or some time I have never said what I believed and never believed what I said, and if I do sometime happen to say what I think, always hide it amongst so many lies that it is hard to recover." - Niccolò Machiavelli, letter to Francesco Guicciardini"
