What do you think about this Machiavelli quote?

Nice story. Machiavelli lived 500 years ago and wasn't infallible. Thank goodness he was wrong on this exile theory, or the U.S. would have been as dead as he, is a long time ago.

Do you really think that truth is in the newest paperbacks sold in the supermarket and that it evaporates when the cheap paper gets brittle?

By the way in this passage Machiavelli wrote about events which were even older - which took place twenty and eighteen centuries BEFORE HIS TIME. Much bigger distance that our puny 500 years.
