Many have imagined republics and principalities which have never been seen or known to exist in reality; for how we live is so far removed from how we ought to live, that he who abandons what is done for what ought to be done, will rather bring about.

  • -- Niccolò Machiavelli 尼科尔·马基雅维利

许多人设想了从未在现实中出现过或知道存在过的共和国和君主国;因为我们所行的与所当行的相距甚远,那弃绝已经行的,只取应该行的,反倒要成就。
