Primary Source The Prince - 1513

• So a prince must not worry if he incurs reproach
  for his cruelty so long as he keeps his subjects
  united and loyal. By making an example or two he
  will prove more compassionate than those who,
  being too compassionate allow disorders which
  lead to murder and rapine . . . Men worry less
  about doing an injury to one who makes himself
  loved than to one who makes himself feared. For
  love is secured by a bond of gratitude which, men
  wretched creatures that they are, break when it
  is to their advantage to do so but fear is
  strengthened by a dread of punishment which is
  always effective.
