Machiavelli is in A Bronx Tale • In the movie, C asks Sonny, "Is it better to be loved, or feared?"
Like ChazzPalminteri's character Sonny says, "It's nice to be both, but very difficult." He goes on: "Fear lasts longer than love... it's fear that keeps them loyal…I treat my men good, but not too good, or I'm not needed. I give just enough so that they need me, but they don't hate me.”
