The answer is obviously when the book was made.
It is better to be feared than loved, if you cannot be both. ... Niccolo Machiavelli
A statement consistent with Niccolò Machiavelli's ideas might be: "It is better to be feared than loved if you cannot be both." This idea reflects Machiavelli's belief that a ruler should prioritize maintaining power and control over being liked or popular.
Niccolò Machiavelli, an Italian diplomat, philosopher, and writer, wrote in "The Prince" that it is safer for a ruler to be feared than loved if they cannot be both. He argued that fear is a more reliable means of maintaining power and control.

He's also responsible for the quote "It is better to be feared than loved if you cannot be both".
What he meant is that, after conquering new territory, you can expect resistance to your rule, unless the locals love you enough not to want to rebel, or are so weak that they do not have the means. What he said is that it would be best to be both loved and feared, but since that is impossible, it is safer if people cannot challenge your rule than if they can, but don't want to.
It is not always funded by the government money. It is not always seen as the most secure investment. It cannot provide as good of customer service.
Machiavelli believed that a ruler must be both feared and loved, but if they cannot be both, it is better to be feared than loved. He also emphasized the importance of being cunning, adaptable, and willing to act ruthlessly when necessary to maintain power.
The future cannot be seen but is always in front of you.
A desire that the government cannot satisfy is happiness. Even the best government can't do that for us... we have to learn it for ourselves.
In most countries, the government cannot ban you from producing children. However, that does not always mean they will let you keep them if you are considered an unfit parent.
Government.
Niccolo Machiavelli is one of the best known political thinkers of Europe. He was an Italian at a time, early 1500s, when Italy consisted of small independent states. Macchiavelli was a public servant of the Republic of Florence, where his family had a certain reputation for public service and moderate wealth. After his day's work he went to his study and contemplated the history of political ideas. He was familiar with the works of Aristotle and developed an interest in the history of the Roman Republic. His idea was to discover how the Romans had achieved greatness and contrast this with the problems besetting Florence. Revolution and violence were typical of his lifetime as the small independent states were overwhelmed by northern nations, France and Austria, the Moslems and corruption in the Papacy. Setting aside his ideals he wrote a slim book, The Prince, for which he is best known. It reflects with grim humour Macchiavelli's assessment of the political lessons of the day. Forget ideals and achieve political advantage over your rivals by any means, bribery, violence and deceit. He advises The Prince, of the title, not to concern himself with the wellbeing of his people or his own reputation, but just to secure his power. This was contrary to the ideals of government formed by the Greeks, Romans and Christian tradition, which Macchiavelli shared. By painting an exaggerated picture of contemporary politics he hoped to bring to light certain principles of justice and decency that cannot be ignored in healthy states. The book was widely translated and some readers, who knew little of its author, imagined that he endorsed the political strategies that appeared in it. From this he was for long mistaken as the father of political intrigue. More influential among political thinkers, such as Thomas Hobbes, were his depictions of the state as an organic being with its own psychology, public opinion, and a sense of securing itself against an uncertain future.Machiavelli was the person who wrote the famous book " The Prince"
