尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导
If Moses, Cyrus, Theseus, and Romulus had been unarmed they could not have enforced their constitutions for long—as happened in our time to Fra Girolamo Savonarola, who was ruined with his new order of things immediately the multitude believed in him no longer, and he had no means of keeping steadfast those who believed or of making the unbelievers to believe. Therefore such as these have great difficulties in consummating their enterprise, for all their dangers are in the ascent, yet with ability they will overcome them; but when these are overcome, and those who envied them their success are exterminated, they will begin to be respected, and they will continue afterwards powerful, secure, honoured, and happy.

白话
马基雅维利说，摩西、居鲁士、忒修斯、罗慕路斯如果手无武装，就不能长久推行他们的制度。他举了同时代的萨沃纳罗拉为例：当民众不再相信他时，他立刻垮台，因为他没有手段让信众坚持，也无法让不信者相信。所以这类革新者完成事业非常困难，危险都在上升阶段，但有能力就能克服。一旦克服，并清除嫉妒他们成功的人，他们就会开始受尊敬，此后强大、安全、荣耀、幸福。
上下文
《君主论》第六章，马基雅维利以萨沃纳罗拉失败为例，说明没有武装的革新者难以持久。
