尼可罗·马基雅维利:君主论·摘录 28

尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 行动 · 领导

Hence it is to be remarked that, in seizing a state, the usurper ought to examine closely into all those injuries which it is necessary for him to inflict, and to do them all at one stroke so as not to have to repeat them daily; and thus by not unsettling men he will be able to reassure them, and win them to himself by benefits. He who does otherwise, either from timidity or evil advice, is always compelled to keep the knife in his hand; neither can he rely on his subjects, nor can they attach themselves to him, owing to their continued and repeated wrongs. For injuries ought to be done all at one time, so that, being tasted less, they offend less; benefits ought to be given little by little, so that the flavour of them may last longer.

白话

篡位者夺权时,要把必须造成的伤害一次做绝,别天天重复,这样人们少受反复折腾,反而能安下心来,再用好处收买人心。要是因为胆怯或听信坏主意,今天割一刀明天割一刀,刀就永远放不下,臣民被反复伤害,既不会信任他,也不会归附他。马基雅维利的原则是:伤害要一次给足,因为一次尝完,味道淡,冒犯就小;恩惠要一点一点给,这样甜头才留得久。

上下文

《君主论》第八章,马基雅维利总结以残酷手段夺权者应如何分配伤害与恩惠,以稳固统治。

今日一问

如果你必须做出不受欢迎的决定,是集中一次说清,还是零敲碎打地折磨人?
