I'm sure he had more than one, but a popular one is, "The ends justifies the means", which basically means you can go to any lengths to get what you want (like torture and deception) and you shouldn't be ashamed for it, because once people see the results your brutality produces they'll praise you for it. This goes along with a quote from Boccaccio that Machiavelli strongly believes in, "It is better to act and to regret it than not to act and regret it."
