Whoever considers the past and the present will readily observe that all cities and all peoples are and ever have been animated by the same desires and the same passions. - Niccolò Machiavelli (Discourses on Livy Quotes)

Whoever considers the past and the present will readily observe that all cities and all peoples are and ever have been animated by the same desires and the same passions.[E’ si conosce facilmente, per chi considera le cose presenti e le antiche, come in tutte le città ed in tutti i popoli sono quegli medesimi desiderii e quelli medesimi omori, e come vi furono sempre.]
