Power is a temptation to the monarch, as wine or women are to a young man, as bribes to a judge, as money to an old man, and pride to a woman.
"Romanian
"Puterea este o ispită pentru monarh, tot așa cum este vinul sau femeia pentru un bărbat tânăr, ca mita pentru judecător, ca banii pentru un bătrân și trufia pentru femeie."
