Top 5 quotes from Niccolo Machiavelli

"Men are so simple and yield so readily to the desires of the moment that he who will trick will always find another who will suffer to be tricked."
"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order to things."
"A wise man ought always to follow the paths beaten by great men, and to imitate those who have been supreme, so that if his ability does not equal theirs, at least it will savor of it. Let him act like the clever archers who, designing to hit the mark which yet appears too far distant, and knowing the limits to which the strength of their bow attains, take aim much higher than the mark, not to reach by their strength or arrow to so great a height, but to be able with the aid of so high an aim to hit the mark they wish to reach."

"The man whose only pleasure in life is making money, weighs less on the moral scale than an angleworm."
