100 quotes by Niccholo Macchiavelli, from 'The Prince'

Oscar Wilde is remembered as one of the wittiest minds ever, thanks to his provocative style and humor. In the 1890s, he was one of London's most popular playwrights; his masterpieces are The Importance of Being Earnest and the dark and fantastical Picture of Dorian Gray. His writings entwine themes of beauty, decadence and duplicity, which made him a more than colorful agent provocateur in the Victorian society. This would eventually lead to a very public trial after he was accused of sodomy. His defense, punctuated with witticism, often left the court roaring with laughter, but the evidence was against him, and he was eventually sent to prison. We have selected for you 100 of his funniest and most provocative quotes, for you to relent in his humor and spice up your conversation with surprises and puns.

100 citations de Machiavel: Collection 100 citations

Nicolas Machiavel, penseur humaniste de la Renaissance, a laissé derrière lui une légende noire. Le Prince, son oeuvre la plus célèbre, donne des instructions claires et précises sur la façon d'obtenir et conserver le pouvoir, la fortune et la gloire, même si ce doit être aux dépens des autres. Pragmatique, il n'hésite pas à faire passer la fin recherchée au-dessus de tout principe moral abstrait, susceptible d'entraver l'action du prince ; le Prince est ainsi devenu un des ouvrages politiques les plus craints de l'histoire des idées. Mais l'oeuvre de Machiavel ne s'arrête pas là. Nous y avons sélectionné 100 citations, pour que son intelligence et son efficacité vous inspirent dans la direction de vos affaires quotidiennes sans tomber dans les problématiques morales.

Le prince

Nicolas Machiavel est nE le 3 mai 1469 A Florence et mort le 21 juin 1527 A Florence. Il fut un penseur italien de la Renaissance, thEoricien de la politique, de l'histoire et de la guerre. Machiavel est aujourd'hui prEsentE comme un homme cynique dEpourvu d'idEal, de tout sens moral et d'honnEtetE, d'oU vient – abusivement, sans doute – la dEfinition de l'adjectif machiavElique. Or, ses Ecrits montrent un homme politique avant tout soucieux du bien public, qui cherchait A donner A la REpublique de Florence la force politique qui lui manquait. Cependant il ne nourrissait aucune illusion sur les vertus des hommes. Ses deux oeuvres fondamentales sont Le Prince et L'Art de la Guerre.
