They would shed their blood for you, risk their lives, their children, so long as the danger is remote. But when you are in danger, they turn against you. Any prince who has come to depend on promises and takes no other precautions, ensures his own ruin…Men worry less about doing an injury to one who makes himself loved than to one who makes himself feared.” Do you agree with Machiavelli’s advice in this passage?
