Niccolò Machiavello (1469-1527) was a figure of the Italian
Renaissance. He was a capital figure in politics and in one of his
books he wrote that "the end justifies the means" (which should be
understood in context )though)
Unfortunately, many careless readers interpreted that any evil
action can be justified if it is done for a good purpose. And the
word "Machiavellian" is often used to describe a crafty, secret or
tricky plan.
