Quote to sleep on

I have always loved quotes. When I have more time in my life, I pen these quotes...but that hasn't happened much in the last 2 years.

When I get time back into my world, I wanted to calligraphy this:

"For the great majority of mankind are satisfied with appearances, as though they were realities, and are often more influenced by the things that seem than by those that are."
-Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527)
