Class Lecture: "One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived." - Niccolo Machiavelli

     Niccolo Machiavelli once said, "One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived." From my understanding, this quote is conveying how deceiving somebody means that you're gaining personal advantage, and that it will come back to bite you later on down the road. If you were to deceive somebody for personal gain in any manner, you will be the one getting deceived later in life,  and most likely worse. Good intent and good deed contribute to good Karma and future happiness, while bad deed, such as deceit, lead to future suffering. Karma seems to be the main idea of this quote.
