1. Excerpts  from  Nicolo  Machiavelli,  1469-1527

Calculated  Cruelty

From  whence  it  is  to  be  observed,  that  he  who  usurps  the
government  of  any  State  is  to  execute  and  put  in  practice  all
the  cruelties  which  he  thinks  material  at  once,  that  he  may  have
no  occasion  to  renew  them  often,  but  that  by  his  discontinuance
he  may  mollify  the  people,  and  by  his  benefits  bring  them  over
to  his  side.
