尼可罗·马基雅维利《君主论》· The Prince · 领导 · 哲学 · 健康 · 财富

Alexander the Sixth arose afterwards, who of all the pontiffs that have ever been showed how a pope with both money and arms was able to prevail; and through the instrumentality of the Duke Valentino, and by reason of the entry of the French, he brought about all those things which I have discussed above in the actions of the duke. And although his intention was not to aggrandize the Church, but the duke, nevertheless, what he did contributed to the greatness of the Church, which, after his death and the ruin of the duke, became the heir to all his labours.

白话

亚历山大六世靠金钱和军队成事,他利用瓦伦蒂诺公爵和法国入侵,实现了目标。虽然他的本意是壮大公爵而非教会,但结果教会却因此强大,在他死后公爵败亡,教会继承了一切成果。这说明,手段和资源比意图更重要;有时 unintended consequences 反而成就了组织。做事时,要确保有实力支撑,并考虑成果归属。

上下文

马基雅维利《君主论》讨论教皇如何靠世俗手段扩张势力,以亚历山大六世为例。
