Title:	not Machiavelli's...
Answer:	Il fine giustifica i mezzi.

Hints:	1. first word sounds like good or beautiful in English 2. second word has a typical Italian sound, the double Z

Explanation:	Il fine giustifica i mezzi... The end justifies the means. Many people think that was Machiavelli's belief. False! That is what Machiavelli thought to usually happen in politics. He wanted to understand how politics work, not to affirm how politics should be. Never mix common sense with great thinkers' quotes ;-) LINGUISTIC NOTE: If you mean 'end' as goal or target, in Italian is masculine ('il fine'). If you mean 'end' as stop or conclusion in Italian is feminine ('la fine').
