Explanation

Machiavelli wrote about this principle in 'The Prince', arguing that rulers should focus on results rather than moral considerations. The phrase captures the essence of his political philosophy. Hitler and Stalin were authoritarian rulers but are not associated with this specific philosophical concept. Reagan and Subhash Chandra Bose have no connection to this quote.
