"As a ruler it is good to be feared and loved, but if you cannot be both, it is better to be feared than loved."
As for nuclear warfare. Both parties are feared so the maxim is moot. I think that nuclear warfare deserves a new approach. Machiavelli did live a long time ago...
The new maxim should be - "It is better to be alive than dead."

Quoting the Bible or the different e book on a conceal sheet isn't unlawful, yet what that guy or woman did useful is. of course i'm useful that grow to be ignored by skill of GQ, ABC and you using fact... it grow to be Rumsfeld and Bush they have been illegally leaking "perfect secret concepts" approximately. however the finished international could come to a grinding halt and heads could roll if anybody dared to do the variety of element to Barry, suited?

The principal is that the ends justify the means. If you were a true Machiavellian, you would do and say anything if it got you what you wanted in the end.
