“A controversy has arisen about this: whether it is better to be loved than feared, or vice versa. My view is that it is desirable
to be both loved and feared; but it is difficult to achieve both and, if one of them has to be lacking, it is much safer to be
feared than loved."
Nicolo Machiavelli, The Prince, 1532
