Machiavelli — "For where the very safety of the country depends upon the resolution to be taken…"

For where the very safety of the country depends upon the resolution to be taken, no considerations whatever of justice or injustice, humanity or cruelty, nor of glory or disgrace, should be allowed to prevail. But putting all other considerations aside, the only question should be, what course will save the life and liberty of the country.
Machiavelli — Machiavelli Early Modern · The Prince, political philosophy
