The phrase "the end justifies the means" is often attributed to the Italian politician Niccolò Machiavelli, who explored this concept in his book "The Prince," written in the 16th century. The idea suggests that achieving a good outcome can sometimes justify using questionable or immoral methods.

I believe this is a quote from "The Prince" Which was a book written by Machiavelli teaching the way to achieve and hold power. So, I believe it means something along the lines you cannot satisfy everyone. So let's take modern politics for example, a politician might promise to cut taxes if elected then when he is elected, to keep the support of his fellow cabinet members he cannot cut taxes. Hope this helped, sorry if it didn't
