Quote #1 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Politics and Subjugation
“The barbarian, though induced by his admiration of personal qualities, the luster of a heroic race, or a superiority of fortune, to follow the banners of a leader, and to act a subordinate part in his tribe, knows not, that what he performs from choice, is to be made a subject of obligation.”
