Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli (Niccolo Machiavelli) Quotes
He who desires or attempts to reform the government of a state and wishes to have it accepted, must at least retain the semblance of the old forms; so that it may seem to the people that there has been no change in the institutions, even though in fact they are entirely different from the old ones. For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities.Niccolò di Bernardo dei Machiavelli
