Capitolo 72
stages of humanity, we will almost find to every an one dictator. One
dictatorship created the unity of France, another his/her soldier
greatness and a bystander his/her prosperity in peace. Benefits so important
as these, what nations cannot acquire alone, the is worth well
provisional sacrifice of every liberty. A man of genius to that it is the
same time a honest man, and with that a boundless is run over
authority, is almost a God on earth.
But the duties of the dictator are in exact proportion to the extension

in the eyes of posterity. History will scold him/it for the good one him
you/he/she has not succeeded in doing, when he could do everything; and its omissions want
crimes is discounted to him.
I will add, that owe the dictatorship last under any circumstances
from a lot. Not only be him/it an absurdity to try to do him/it
hereditary, but the man that should think to perpetually practicing him/it
you/he/she would be alienated. An ill patient allows that he is tied up from the
surgeon that is almost about to save his/her life; but when the operation is ended
he asks for to have put to the liberty. Nations act in a likes way. From
the day when the benefits conferred from the cessation master to compensate
for the loss of the liberty, the nation demands the restoration of his
rights, and a wise dictator will approve the application.
