Additional quotes by Niccolò Machiavelli

[...T]he ways of God have been manifested beyond example: the sea is divided, the cloud has led the way, the rock has poured forth water, it has rained manna, everything has contributed to your greatness; you ought to do the rest. God is not willing to do everything, and thus take away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us.

...the scepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have actually had personal experience of them.
