"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."
"The kind of man who self-consciously seeks only the gratification of his desires for political power, a man who turns ruthlessness and treachery into matters of principle, Its the fact that he's this way all the time."
"Be empty, still, and idle, and from your place of darkness observe the defects of others."
"He who claims to be sure of something for which there is no evidence is a fool, and he who acts on the basis of what cannot be proved is an imposter."

If you can post The best of this camp, Machiavelli, Hobbes and la rochefoucauld, and any of this kind.
good to know
(1) Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.
(2) People will continue to commit atrocities as long as they continue to believe absurdities.
(3) If we believe absurdities we shall commit atrocities.

Machiavelli was a gigasimp
He was tortured, then wrote a book telling his torturers that they did the right thing and should be even harsher next time
He was like a foid, he fantasized about being abused by a Chad prince

"toward man-centered politics and man-centered politics is ugly man-centered politics is bloody and man-centered politics serves no ends but human ends and human desires there is no ultimate summum bonum no ultimate good that politics gestures"
"first you conquer people that you have no right to and then you send somebody out there to do extremely evil and unpleasant and violent things to them and you lie to him and say that you do it with my blessing and then you go to the people and you act like you're blameless so they won't hate you and then you kill this guy throw him to the wolves and the people lap it up and say what a nice failure i'm glad we got
a prince like you much better than the guy we had here we thought he was acting with your authority but of course now we see that he wasn't that's what the word Machiavellian means two three four levels of meaning all devoted to the same task to the organization and acquire acquisition of political power by any means necessary this man is not careful about the means that he uses to achieve his ends"
