safer to be feared than loved ---

Remember, Machiavelli is addressing the sovereign prince, and not the ordinary peasant or townsman. The ordinary person having no special security like the prince, had much better be loved than feared. If a poor weak man is feared, he is easily taken care of by a knife in the ribs. A beloved person is safe in his thin, threadbare shirt.
