Nah. I've been saving up quotes as I've been reading, just for the day when I meet the internet right-wing edgelord who calls himself a Machiavellian, because it's full of stuff like this.

"A princedom is impossible where equality prevails, and a Republic where it does not"

"A people is wiser and more constant than a prince"

"the ambition of the great is so pernicious that unless controlled and counteracted in a variety of ways, it will always reduce a city to speedy ruin"
