It is much safer to be feared than loved. . . .

Among the wonderful deeds of Hannibal this one is enumerated: that having led an enormous army, composed of many various races of men, to fight in foreign lands, no dissensions arose either among them or against the prince, whether in his bad or in his good fortune. This arose from nothing else than his inhuman cruelty . . . but without that cruelty, his other virtues were not sufficient to produce this effect. . . . That it is true his other virtues would not have been sufficient for him may be proved by the case of Scipio, that most excellent man . . . his army rebelled in Spain; this arose from nothing but his too great forbearance, which gave his soldiers more license than is consistent with military discipline.

What is the main purpose of The Prince by Machiavelli?

The Prince was written by Machiavelli with two goals in mind: first, to demonstrate to a ruler or would-be ruler how he could maintain a secure and prosperous state amid the political unrest of the early 16th century in Italy; and second, to atone for his past transgressions in the eyes of the ruler of Florence, Lorenzo de' Medic.

Philosopher from Florentine in the 16th century, Machiavelli is well renowned for his political theories. The Prince and the Discourses on Livy, his two most well-known intellectual works, were published after his passing.

Note that the Prince is tasked with determining how much of a prince's success or failure results from his own free will and how much is influenced by nature or his immediate surroundings via the use of negative connotations.
