"There is so great a distance between how one lives and how one ought to live that he who rejects what people do in favor of what one ought to do, brings about his ruin rather than his preservation; for a man who wishes to do in every matter what is good, will be ruined among so man who are not good. Hence it is necessary for a prince who wishes to maintain himself, to learn to be able not to be good, or to use goodness and abstain from using it according ti the commands of circumstances." -Nicollo Machiavelli, The Prince Ch.15
