James Harrington Zitate

Obwohl eine ganze Armee weder schreiben noch lesen kann, hat sie keine Angst vor einer Plattform, von der sie wissen, dass sie nur Erde oder Stein ist. noch von einer Kanone, die ohne eine Hand, um Feuer zu geben, nur kaltes Eisen ist; Daher hat eine ganze Armee Angst vor einem Mann.
