I do not wish to discuss Heliogabalus, Macrinus, or Julian, who, being thoroughly contemptible, were quickly wiped out; but I will bring this discourse to a conclusion by saying that princes in our times have this difficulty of giving inordinate satisfaction to their soldiers in a far less degree, because, notwithstanding one has to give them some indulgence, that is soon done; none of these princes have armies that are veterans in the governance and administration of provinces, as were the armies of the Roman Empire; and whereas it was then more necessary to give satisfaction to the soldiers than to the people, it is now more necessary to all princes, except the Turk and the Soldan, to satisfy the people rather the soldiers, because the people are the more powerful.

至于埃利奥加巴洛、马克里诺、尤里亚诺等人，我就不打算议论了，因为他们都是十足可鄙的，所以很快就给消灭了。但是我想就上面的论述总结一下。我认为，我们这个时代的君主们要使自己政府的军队特别满意，其困难比往时减少了，因为尽管他们必须对那些军队给以某些照顾，可是如有任何困难很快就获得解决了。我们这个时代的任何一位君主都没有一支军队象罗马帝国的军队那样，同政府和地方行政当局一道根深蒂固。如果说，在罗马帝国时代，满足军人比满足人民更有必要，那末现在所有的君主，除了土耳其皇帝和苏丹之外，满足人民倒是比满足军人更有必要，因为现在人民比军人更有力量了。

Despite the flaws in giving power away—its tentativeness in some areas, its optimistic assumptions in others—Westminster may not have seen as interesting an intellectual movement since the 1970s, when a few poky think-tanks harboured the early stirrings of what would become Thatcherism.
