Government is not reason; it is not eloquence; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master.

    الحكومة ليست سبب. إنها ليست فصاحة. إنها القوة. كالنار خادم خطير وسيد مخيف.

    Regierung ist kein Grund; es ist keine Beredsamkeit; es ist Kraft. Wie Feuer ist es ein gefährlicher Diener und ein ängstlicher Meister.

    el gobierno no es la razón; no es elocuencia; es fuerza. como el fuego, es un sirviente peligroso y un amo temeroso.

    правительство не причина; это не красноречие; это сила. как огонь, это опасный слуга и страшный хозяин.
