For there is such a difference between the way men live and the way
they ought to live, that anybody who abandons what is for what ought
to be will learn something that will ruin rather than preserve him,
because anyone who determines to act in all circumstances the part of
a good man must come to ruin among so many who are not good.
-- Machiavelli, Il principe
