Text :
It is no advantage to a prince, or other magistrate, to enjoy more power than is consistent with the good of mankind; nor is it of any benefit to a man to be unjust: but these maxims are a feeble security against the passions and follies of men. Those who are entrusted with any measures of influence, are disposed, from a mere aversion to constraint, to remove opposition.
