Niccolo Machiavelli
Niccolo Machiavelli was born on May 3, 1469, in Florence, Italy during the Renaissance time.. He eventually became a man who lived his life for politics and patriotism. The political genius of Niccolo Machiavelli was overshadowed by the reputation that was unfairly given to him because of a misunderstanding of his views on politics. Machiavelli entered the Florentine government as a secretary. Unfortunately for Machiavelli, he was dismissed from office when the Medici came to rule Florence and the Republic was overthrown. The lack of a job forced him to switch to writing about politics instead of being active. His diplomatic missions were his last official government positions. When Machiavelli lost his office, he desperately wanted to return to politics. He tried to gain the favor of the Medici by writing a book of what he thought were the Medici's goals and dedicating it to them. And so The Prince was written for that purpose. His health began to fail him, and he died months later, in 1527.
Among other evils which being unarmed brings you, it causes you to be despised.
His major Accomplishment was writing the book The Prince.
A prince never lacks legitimate reasons to break his promise.
It is much more secure to be feared than to be loved.
