Pictutre of Martin Luther with the quote "It makes me tingle with pleasure from head to toe when I see that through me, poor wretched man that I am, God the Lord maddens and exasperates you hellish and worldly people, so that in your spite you will burst and tear yourselves to pieces - while I sit under the shade of faith and the Lord's Prayer, laughing at you devils and your crew and you blubber and struggler in your great fury."
Thus, to Machiavelli, the Roman Republic’s political institutions and religious values called forth a courageous, unselfish, and steadfast people whose patriotic dedication propelled Rome to the heights of glory.
