"Ketika raja diperanakkan dan dilahirkan seperti manusia lainnya, harus dianggap bahwa mereka berasal dari spesies manusia; dan mungkin, jika mereka memiliki pendidikan yang sama, mereka mungkin membuktikan seperti pria lain. Tetapi, tersanjung dari buaian mereka, hati mereka rusak, dan kepala mereka dipalingkan, sehingga mereka tampaknya menjadi spesies sendiri .... Sanjungan tidak bisa terlalu kuat bagi mereka; diminum dengan itu sejak bayi, seperti peminum tua, mereka membutuhkan mimpi."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

As kings are begotten and born like other men, it is to be presumed that they are of the human species; and perhaps, had they thesame education, they might prove like other men. But, flattered from their cradles, their hearts are corrupted, and their heads are turned, so that they seem to be a species by themselves.... Flattery cannot be too strong for them; drunk with it from their infancy, like old drinkers, they require dreams.
