Are you thinking of Machiavelli?
- vijayr02 6y agoI don't think so. I have a hazy memory that I actuallyb learnt the reference on HN - maybe I'm wrong but the woolly context I have is of a respected prime minister approaching the end of a long career, coaching his son and successor. Unlike Machiavelli, who if I remember correctly actually had a very poor relationship with the ruling family after a brief period of success.
