    8. Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow:
    Proceeding to the other qualities before named, I say that every prince must desire to be
    considered merciful and not cruel. He must, however, take care not to misuse this mercifulness.
    Cesare Borgia was considered cruel, but this cruelty had brought order to the Romagna, united it,
    and reduced it to peace and fealty. If this is considered well, it will be seen that he was really
    much more merciful than the Florentine people, who, to avoid the name of cruelty, allowed
    Pistoia to be destroyed. A prince, therefore, must not mind incurring the charge of cruelty for the
    purpose of keeping his subjects united and faithful; for, with very few examples, he will be more
    merciful than those who, from excess of tenderness allow disorders to arise, from whence spring
    bloodshed and rapine; for these as a rule injure the whole community, while the executions
    carried out by the prince injure only individuals. And of all princes, it is impossible for a new
    prince to escape the reputation of cruelty, new states being always full of dangers.

    Nevertheless, he must be cautious in believing and acting ,and must not be afraid of his own
    shadow, and must proceed in a temperate manner with prudence and humanity, so that too much
    confidence does not render him incautious, and too much diffidence does not render him
    intolerant from this arises the question whether it is better to be loved more than feared, or feared
    more than loved, The reply is, that one ought to be both feared and loved, bit as it is difficult for
    the two to go together, it is much safer to be feared than loved, if one of the two has to be
    wanting.

    For it may be said of men in general that they are ungrateful, voluble dissemblers anxious to
    avoid danger, and covetous of gain; as long as you benefit them they are entirely yours; they offer
    you their blood you their goods, their life and their children, as I have said before, when the
    necessity is remote; but when it approaches, they revote. And the prince who has relied solely on
    their words without making other preparations, is ruined; for the friendship which is gained by
    purchase and not through grandeur and nobility of spirit is brought but not secured, and at a pinch
    is not to be expended in your service. And men have less scruple in offending one who makes
    himself feared; for love is held by a chain of obligation which, men being selfish, is broken
    Whenever it serves their purpose; but fear is maintained by a dread of punishment which never
    fails.

    Still, a prince should make himself feared in such a way that if he does not gain love, he at any
    rate avoids hatred; for fear and the absence of hatred may well go together, and will be always
    attained by one who abstains from interfering with the property of his citizens and subjects or
    with their women. And when he is obliged to take the life of anyone, let him do so when there is
    proper justification and manifest reason for it; but above all he must abstain from taking the
    property of others, for men forget more easily the death of their father than the loss of their
    patrimony. Then also pretests‟ for seizing property are never wanting, and one who begins to live
    by rapine will always find some reason for taking the goods of others, whereas causes for taking
    life are rarer and more fleeting.

    But when the prince is with his army and has a large number of soldiers under his control, then it
    is extremely necessary that he should not mind being thought cruel; for without this reputation
    he could not keep an army united or disposed to any duty. Among the noteworthy actions of
    Hannibal is numbered this, that although he had an enormous army, composed of men all nations
    and fighting in foreign countries, there never arose any dissension either among them or against
    the prince, either in good fortune or in bad.
    This could not be due to anything but his inhuman cruelty, which together with his infinite other
    virtues, made him always venerated and terrible in the sight of his soldiers, and without it his
    other virtues would not have sufficed to produce that effect. Thoughtless writers admire on the
    one hand his actions, and on the blame the principle cause of them.
    And that it is true that his other virtues would not have sufficed may be seen from the case of
    Scipio, whose armies rebelled against him in Spain, which arose from nothing but hi excessive
    kindness, which allowed more license to the soldiers that was consonant with military discipline.
