“men ought either to be well treated or crushed, because they can avenge themselves of lighter injuries, of more serious ones they cannot;”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince

“For injuries ought to be done all at one time, so that, being tasted less, they offend less; benefits ought to be given little by little, so that the flavour of them may last longer.”
― Niccolò Machiavelli, The Prince
