He could spend six hours in the hiding-place and another nine in his own bed. Now it was all over, and he had literally nothing to do, no Party work of any description, until tomorrow morning. He had worked more than ninety hours in five days. His overalls fretted his shoulders, the pavement tickled his feet, even the opening and closing of a hand was an effort that made his joints creak. All the blood and lymph had been drained out of him by an enormous debauch of work, leaving only a frail structure of nerves, bones, and skin.

His body seemed to have not only the weakness of a jelly, but its translucency. ![]() ![]() It even contributed to the modern negative connotations of the words "politics" and "politician" in western countries. ![]() It was also in direct conflict with the dominant Catholic and scholastic doctrines of the time concerning politics and ethics.The Prince has the general theme of accepting that the aims of princes-such as glory and survival-can justify the use of immoral means to achieve those ends.Although it is relatively short, the treatise is the most remembered of Machiavelli's works and the one most responsible for bringing the word "Machiavellian" into usage as a pejorative.
