A dishonest minister does not do the greatest harm by doing his sovereign a disservice and ruining his people; there is something that I think is a thousand times more dangerous than this: that it sets a bad example.
"Hungarian
"Egy becstelen miniszter nem azzal okozza a legnagyobb kárt, hogy rossz szolgálatot tesz uralkodójának és tönkreteszi népét; van valami, ami szerintem ezerszerte veszedelmesebb ennél: az, hogy rossz példát mutat."
