“One who deceives will always find those who allow themselves to be deceived”
— Niccolo Machiavelli

Simplified Meaning:
If someone tries to trick others, they will always find people who are willing to fall for the trick. Think of a con artist who sells fake products; there will always be those who believe the products are real and buy them. This happens because some people are trusting or want to believe in something that sounds good. For example, in a situation where someone is selling a fake miracle cure, there are always people desperate enough to buy it, hoping for a quick fix. To avoid being deceived, people should be careful, ask questions, and research before believing what others say. This advice can help individuals stay safe from scams and make better decisions.
