Tomorrow our U3A Group will be studying Machiavelli.
He is definitely an interesting character to consider and I am sure there will be some lively discussion. Consider the following quote:

Hence the moniker of “Machiavellian plot” ~ intrigue, not integrity.
Yes, you are right Nancy! Exhausted after a day of talking politics 🙂
Mmmmm… makes me wonder? However, I also wonder how we define prudent ruler?
I think that one has to be slightly selfish to succeed as a ruler… self preservation?
I reckon that’s why we’re not rulers… honesty got the better of us!! 😉
I will take honesty any day! Thanks for your thoughts – they are always welcome 🙂
